Marlins Trade: Thoughts?

[Stotle]

It's easy to talk about the knees as if there might be degenerative issues. I wondered myself. It appears that they were fixed right and there was no meniscus damage. We got fortunate.

I don't think it's easy. All I know is he has had two knee surgeries. Sometimes players hold up. Sometimes they don't. Usually teams don't ignore major surgery, but the medicals are what matter when it comes time to make decisions.

Never sell the man cheap. Ride him the whole way to FA if they don't pay through the nose. Marlins signed a 300+ million dollar contract aft a fastball smashed a face. And no one knows if Fernandez will ever through a effective MLB pitch again.

What if the Gnats can't extend Harper neXt year and offer him up for trade. He'll probably get between 15-20 M in arb,. What kind of trade return would he get? Two good prospects and one or two prospects that are a lot further away?

He was 26/4 SO/BB over 21.2 innings in September, so some of the pitches are still effective. But sure, of course, absolutely, nothing guaranteed. For anyone.

Miami's hard on pitchers. I guess when you trade after 3 years keeping them healthy isn't much of an issue.

Does he put up another 10 WAR season? Or 2 WAR over half a year with injuries sprinkled in?

Trading Manny is totally out of the question. Are you an Orioles fan?

Thats nice. Calling someones fandom into question for posting theoreticals.

Good question. He does have a history of crashing into walls.

I think it is enough to be a player away.

Sure. The player missing is the key player in the deal. You have junk, junk, and a B prospect in your deal.

I'm with Drungo the 2-for-1 is a No, but the Marlins have half a dozen other interesting names. Assuming Loria instructed his FO to keep raising offer until Orioles said Yes, where does the balance tip?

3 for 1 getting Yelich too

4 for 1 getting Yelich and Ozuna

AJ Ramos? Carter Capps? Tyler Kolek? Josh Naylor?

I also agree the Orioles couldn't finesse acquire Fernandez without using Machado.

Hate the idea of trading Machado. Hate it. Having said that, I have to admit that an offer of Fernandez, Yelich, and Prado for Machado would be one that you would have to consider seriously. Wouldn't you?

Indeed. It has actually happened with enough frequency we can call it a history. We have a file. Pretty amazing.

Who do you add on Baltimore's side? B/C type.

Nobody. I don't have too many questions about the durability of the current consecutive games leader.
