Yelich

[Brion McClanahan]

This might be WAY outside the box for a Manny possibility, but perhaps the Marlins would be willing to include Yelich in a package for Manny. Perhaps a two for one with Yelich and a top pitching prospect for Manny which the Marlins could then flip to another contender for more prospects. Now of course if the Os could get a better deal in terms of prospects, then this trade makes no sense, but the Os would get a guy who is approaching his prime with a reasonable contract and the M's could get more prospects for Manny.

Can  Yelich pitch

I hear he throws a mean Eephus pitch. Seriously, the Os would need an ML ready pitcher or two back in the deal, but Yelich would be a nice addition to the team. The Boston trade in another thread would be a better deal, but there again, only one P coming back to the Os.

Yelich is worth far more than a year of Manny.  The Marlins would have no interest in Manny and acquiring him using their absolute best trade chip just to try and flip would be beyond idiotic.  

I do like Yelich but the O’s would have to empty out our farm to get him and the Marlins could probably get a better centerpiece than Hays.

"Idiotic?" Manny is a better player than Yelich hands down and could net more in a trade given the possibility of an extension window, which the Os are not willing to do.

I could see Miami courting him in FA as a homecoming of sorts and a show of faith that there is a plan on winning but no way do I see them going after him now. If they want prospects then Yelich can probably get more than Manny anyways.

You are not just trading players, you are trading contracts.  5 years of Yelich at well below market rate is extremely valuable.  I’d think you’d be hard pressed to find a single knowledgeable baseball person who thinks Manny has more trade value than Yelich.

A contender looking to win it all next year would weight their values differently.

[interloper]

I loooooove Yelich.

I am fully considering that when making the statement.

Yeah but just like teams like the A's and CWS, they could turn around and flip him to the NYY or BOS.

Jeter will probably trade Yelich to the Yankees for Ellsbury and cash. Jeter will also throw in the rights to any future Marlins ( even ones not in the organization yet) the Yankees might be interested in.

Miami will send a PTBNL to the Yankees. It' believed to be the Marlins 2018 1st rd pick...we just have to wait and see who that is before we can give exact details of the deal.

Was really cunning how Jetes had deals in place with the Cards and Giants when he knew that Stanton didn't want to play there and would use his no trade protection to block those trades.
