Royals Fan
The Royals need to get in on this guy…..
Daniel Wesley
Agreed, but only at the right price. I’d much rather we pick up his entire contract and give the Marlins two B- prospects.
Michael Mulligan
pelfrey and a piece of string
Michael Mulligan
that’s too much actually
GREGM
Having a conversation with yourself?
Jason
He took a mulligan.
Rick Garcia
not sure if a change of scenery would do Nolasco any good. But, he’s still relatively young. The marlins should get several calls
GREGM
Nolasco is, and always has been an at best a number 4 or 5 pitcher. Marlins would be best to dump his payroll and use that money in combination with the increase in payroll to try and lock up a “back up ace” like CJ Wilson…just in-case JJ becomes the leagues most expensive closer.
Chris Bosh
Did JJ get a raise since he last signed his contract?

I think it’s funny how teams like the Marlins and Nats think they’ll sign CJ. CJ will either stay put or head to the west coast.

I would love to see the Pirates get him.

Welcome to Kansas City, Ricky!

Kansas City needs to focus on getting a big arm like shields that can come in and compliment the young arms and show leadership. Now if they plan on adding Nolasco and Shields then there cooking with gas.

It wouldn’t be surprising to see Nolasco traded in November for a less-than-stellar return, freeing up cash for the Marlins to put directly in their pockets and not pursue a replacement.

From someone who has watched Nolasco over the years on FSN, and other Fish fans may back this up, but moving Nolasco to the AL may not be a very wise move.
he seems (to me) to be a classic large field pitcher, high GB rate or not and also has been hot/cold for years in stretches. Think of him as a weaker version of a Jeremy Guthrie IMO.

I would like to see the Twins pursue him. They could use a pitcher that can miss some bats once in a while. They have too many pitch-to-contact type of starters.
johnsilver
Twinkie stadium could be one place where he could thrive come to think of it, not being especially friendly to bats and like you mentioned… When will they stop drafting and also, looking on the open market for those pitch to contact/rubbish throwers like they have the last few years?
NYPOTENCE
If the Marlins are planning to make a push next year, why need keep Nolasco. He’s repertoire is definitely above-average and with JJ’s misfortunes (Injuries) I’m sure the Marlins wouldn’t mind keeping him around.
