Rays/Marlins

[Eddiey]

The Rays are loaded with young outfield talent and the Marlins are looking for a center fielder. The Marlins have a ton of young starting pitching which the Rays need. Sounds like a trading match made in heaven. What sort of trade would you try to work out?

I've heard rumors of a Dukes for Nolasco deal. And I've heard moving either Dukes or Upton to CF and trade Baldelli for Josh Johnson. I wish we had done the deal that was rumored last year of Gathright for Scott Olsen. Something needs to be worked out, they are loaded with young (cheap) pitching, and we have an abundance of young (relatively cheap) outfielders.

Considering the $$$ owners are throwing around at OF'ers like Juan Pierre and Gary Matthews Jr, Crawford and Baldelli are steals for the Rays! :crazy

this does sound like you guys should make a trade
if you can trade baldelli for johnson i would do it in a heartbeat, baldelli has been struggling in past years and i dont see much improvement, johnson was really good last year
