    The Marlins need a closer. Unlike the Nationals, the Marlins have a lot of talent on the field. Mike Stanton (one of the best prospects in all of baseball) is on his way too.

     

    The Marlins also had a 36 million dollar payroll in 2009. Pretty sure they won't increase that amount enough to make paying Bobby a smart move. No team is going to want to pay their closer 15+% of payroll.

     

    I should add - unless he is a top 5 in baseball closer like joe nathan or mo rivera. then, maybe.

    Jenks has little value to a team like the Nats or Marlins so that won't happen. The Phils have the need but i've heard their payroll is bumping against its ceiling. Maybe if the win the Series again. He might get some looks from the Angels, given Fuentes' disappointing season. Dunno what to expect, but it will happen fast if it happens at all.

    Please, we are made of filler. Players like Shelby and Ely are ideal package deal pieces. We're not going to blow anyone out of the water, but we can get solid mid-tier deals done .I like the idea of going after Ross/Hermida and Pinto/Tankersley from the Marlins. They have a pressing need to clear space for Maybin, and both can be had for a worthy price. It would be great to have a young, OPB-oriented, power bat, and a second lefty for the pen.

     

    That was my argument - that they didn't have the bullets for the pie-in-the-sky trades usually proposed in threads like this. The Sox have plenty of mid-range fodder to pick up bullpen arms and comeback candidates like Hermida. I've been advocating trading for him for a while. Guys like Reyes or Upton, though, are probably out of Kenny's reach.

    I don't think KW pulls off a big trade this offseason. More like gathering a few pieces and filling some holes. Not because the Sox don't need help (they do, and lots of it) but because he simply has no trade bait. Hermida can be had for next to nothing i'm guessing. Beyond that, probably some attempts at under the radar stuff like usual.
