Marlins Trade Rumors – Wednesday – Manny To Miami?
Leading up to tomorrows trade deadline I will be checking in on the latest rumors for the Fish. Here is what we have today…
- MLBTradeRumors: [[Gregg Zaun]] would welcome a trade. GM J.P. Ricciardi responded by saying “someone has to want you.” The Marlins could make sense; their catcher hunt may hinge on Matt Treanor’s decision whether to have surgery.
Geoff Baker says the Brewers, Marlins, and Tigers are eyeing [[Eddie Guardado]].
- Jon Heyman at SI.com: The other teams in the mix for Ramirez aren’t known, but it is believed that the Dodgers and Marlins showed some level of interest in the past few days, since Ramirez ignited a public battle with his team. If true, the Marlins’ interest would be stunning in that they have a baseball-low $22-million payroll.
- Will Carroll at Baseball Prospectus (Subscription Required): [[Manny Ramirez]] entered the market on Sunday as more of a complicating factor than a real trade target. There’s a lot of conflicting reports, but the fact is that very few teams could take on Ramirez and return the kind of even-up players that the Sox would need to make the deal. One good source told me that he had heard that the Marlins were involved, willing to give up [[Jeremy Hermida]] and Boston-area product [[Jeff Allison]], but I couldn’t confirm this. I just don’t see this deal getting done.
Plenty of juicy tidbits. I will continue to update through the day if I have time and anything pops up.
