If they lock him up long term, I'd be so stinking giddy over that deal. Heck, anyone think they'd have some interest in Duque.
Sox are frustrated with Duque, they deal Duque, Marte, and say Gio or Tracey plus a guy like Owens.
The deal gives the Marlins some help in the future but it also helps the Marlins this year because they get a guy that can pitch for them down the stretch (Duque) as well as Marte who can be an asset for them in the pen.
And if they lock him up long term and the Marlins were sticklers, if worse came to worse I'd give them an Anderson or Bmac instead of Gio or Tracey to get it done. This is only if he were signed long term or at least if the Sox were going to give it a gung ho effort.
Than they could turn their attention to picking up a lefty reliever.
Id never deal Gio, kids gonna be great.
