The Marlins get minor-league pitchers Steven Ames, Josh Wall and Angel Sanchez in the deal, which was announced Saturday night. The Dodgers will pay the remainder of Nolasco's $11.5 million salary, and will also get an international signing slot valued at $197,000 from the Marlins.

Doesn't look like they gave up much to get him.

26 year old 2nd round right hander with a minor league career 5+ ERA, 1.519 WHIP (Josh Wall), 25 year old right hander with a minor league career 2.22 ERA, 1.111 WHIP (Steven Ames), and 23 year old right hander in A+ ball with a minor league career 4.88 ERA and 1.410 WHIP (Angel Sanchez). Important to note that Wall has been a reliever in the minors the last few years and Ames has been a reliever his entire minor league career. Sanchez is the only starter who seems to have some upside.

Doesn't look like a lot. Not sure how Sanchez projects.

The Marlins aren't paying a dime of his salary so they pretty much get bullpen arms. The Dodgers get some international cap space but it remains if acquiring Nolasco is pointless for a team that may not contend.
