More reason to like Ozuna:

All but one of his MLB HR would have cleared the fences at the K. (of course, this doesn't account for wind, etc).

He's a good defender who would be a reasonable bet for 15-20 HR a year, if healthy and motivated. Also doesn't sound like the Marlins would need a ton back for him.

New obsession...

If he's that desirable, why wouldn't they need more in trade?

He had a bad season last year, but mainly because his agent is Scott Boras, and he accused the Marlins of demoting Ozuna to game his service time clock and prevent him from qualifying for arbitration this year (which he did not).

I'm down with Ozuna. I also think Yasiel Puig is available, and feel like he'd do well out of Los Angeles, in a clubhouse with countryman Kendrys Morales. I know the price would be high, but sky's the limit with Puig. That kid can flat out PLAY.

Sweet, bring him in. I assume World Series hitter Colon is enough to get it done, with value to spare.

We need a trade that offloads Infante.

@jaysonst: Other clubs say #Marlins are floating Marcell Ozuna's name but only want to deal him for a No. 2-type starter. Tough sell after last year

From Nov 9th

They'll get Christian Colon and be damned grateful for the opportunity.

That seems like an over-ask. But time will tell...

Ozuna's got 3 cost-controlled below market years, not 1 year @ 14.5m


One key point to remember in any trade ideas is salaries. Teams have to pay players, and they like guys making less all things equal. Oh, and teams have budgets.

Gerardo Parra anyone?

I'm sure they're targeting Parra. It's just about as obvious as them targeting Rios last year. You'd be shocked if they weren't.

Were we targeting Rios? I thought he was kind of the only guy that didn't get an insane contract, so we grabbed him.

But, yeah. I'd be shocked if we weren't at least in on Parra.

Well really they were after Torii Hunter last year. But Rios is a guy they were always connected to over the years. Not too much different this year, in a perfect world they'd be re-signing Gordon.

Not sure I'd be down with Puig. He might be a clubhouse wrecker.
