The Marlins are officially selling. Tanner Scott for Povich?

[sportsfan8703]

Would you make that trade?  Povich for Scott?

[O's84]

Elias would turn down that proposal in a second.

[rudyrooster]

This is a joke.  Right?

[Hallas]

If Elias makes this trade someone needs to check to see if he got a lobotomy.

[Bahama O's Fan]

No way! But on this topic, what do they have that we might want (Scott, anyone else)? What would you be willing to give up? 

[RZNJ]

3 months ago I would have said yes, no brainer.   I still think Scott is a worthwhile target.  Miami produces pitching.  I’d rather try to get him with someone like Norby or combination of mid to lower tier guys like the Flaherty deal.

Lots of Scott detractors but he was elite last year.   The walk totals are a concern but if he comes around he’s a difference maker.

[Sports Guy]

You mean the guy whose K rate has dropped 3.5 Ks per nine and whose walk rate is higher than his K rate?

No thanks.

A more below the radar move would be adding someone like Anthony Bender.  Wouldn’t have to give up too much for him. Try to get them to take back Urias (to replace Arraez at second) as part of the deal..even paying some of his salary if needed.  Add in a guy like Max Wagner and maybe a lottery ticket Intl player or someone who was a recent draft pick.  Something along those lines.

[Sports Guy]

And Cabrera would still be high on my list. Some injury concerns with him, so I’m not sure how far I would extend for him but I would look into it for sure.

Norby and Stowers make some sense as part of the deal although they may be older than Miami would like.

[Moose Milligan]

No. 

[Sports Guy]

Cabrera and Bender for Stowers, Norby, Mordan and a lottery ticket/recent draft pick/B- type prospect?

[ShoelesJoe]

Not just "no", but #@$%& NO!!!

[emmett16]

Lay off the crack, bruh. 

[DirtyBird]

This is a dumb thread.

Oh, this is just a cute way of bringing your “Povich is Bruce Zimmerman” opinion from the Minors board to the main board.

Our best SP prospect for a reliever I don't even want?

Cabrera to the minors? Bender takes Baumann's spot? Though I thought you had said you didn't agree with letting Baumann go.
