No, you taking one out of context quote and blowing it up into "hYdE's LoSt ThE lOcKeR rOoM" is what is Facebook-tier here.

There wasn't even a quote.

I think we need to trade Mountcastle, and then make a big trade a pitcher. An elite closer and/or a legit starter. Mountcastle putting up his usual 2 WAR season at 1B isn't enough, and he's ultimately replaceable. Trade him while the market is hot. If O'Hearn and whoever else can cover 1B, it gives us so much more lineup and roster flexibility. Mayo and Kjerstad can be in the lineup mostly everyday. 

Could Marlins be interested in Mountcastle? He would probably be an upgrade over their current DH options, and Josh Bell's contract expires this year. Maybe toss in a Billy Cook or lower prospect?

Edit: For Tanner Scott.

I believe he's basing his conspiracy theory off of his own personal interpretation of something Hays said to the Philly media.

Reports emerging the Marilins are waiving Josh Bell.

That might dampen 1B trade offers a little bit if a club has money and likes Bell well enough.    He's hotter than Mountcastle this week, if less efficient at $$$/WAR.

Parades from the Rays to the Cubs for Christopher Morel and 2 pitching prospects, Hunter Bigge (#29 Cubs prospect) and Ty Johnson (unranked).

Could the Marlins be in the market for a 1B with a couple years of control?

I just saw that and was coming to post about it.

What about claiming him to platoon at 1B with O'Hearn and trading Mountcastle? He'll probably get claimed by the Astros, Mariners, or Yanks first though.

Yes. Would still think they want longer control.

Bigge has blown up consistently hitting 100+. He has the makings of a dominant relief arm and was probably the Cub's future closer. Ty Johnson is nothing.  Thrilled with this deal.
