So, Jose Fernandez anyone?

I'd give up Baez/Castro, Gleyber, McKinney, and whatever minor league pitcher they want.

I imagine Soler or Baez would be the main piece. Wonder if the deal could be expanded to bring back Ozuna to play CF.

Do that, sign Heyward, profit.

Why on earth trade a young arm with that much promise that is still cheap? Makes no sense even for the Marlins.

Scott Boras is to The Marlins what Kings of Leon are to Oleg.

Taller?

Doesn't Tommy John Disease tend to reoccur after about 5 or 6 years?

Cool? Cubs can win a series during the two or three years of control he has left, then let someone else pay Boras' price tag to watch his arm explode.
I will vow, for the sake of peace, not to complain about David Ross between now and his first start next year- 10/26/2015

I think it's 5-7. So, they've got plenty of time to enjoy him.

Leave Soler out of this and I'm completely on board - irrational as that may be.

I actually like Jorge and don't mind if he stays. I think I'm just resigned to them trading him or Javy and I'd prefer Javy to stay, if we're choosing between the two.

According to today's rumors:

1. Arrieta
2. Greinke
3. Price
4. Fernandez
5. Lester

Think they'll sell all five shirseys in a bundle?

That won't work unless Schwaber can stay behind home plate.

Which would be outstanding if he could.
