Marlins Not Looking To Trade Hanley Ramirez

By Tim Dierkes | December 7, 2011 at 3:25pm CDT

3:25pm: Ramirez did not ask to have his contract restructured and is not getting traded, Marlins president David Samson told Ken Rosenthal.

3:10pm: The Marlins didn't seem interested in trading new third baseman Hanley Ramirez at today's Jose Reyes press conference, but ESPN's Buster Olney says they're now looking to move Hanley after his agent asked for a restructured contract.  Olney says that if the Marlins can move the $46.5MM owed to Ramirez over the next three years, they hope to use that money on Prince Fielder.

Ramirez, 27, had the worst season of his career in 2011, slumping to .243/.333/.379 in 385 plate appearances.  His shortstop defense is considered below-average.  Still, it was just a year ago that Hanley was a four-to-seven wins above replacement player.

          He has no spot in Toronto unless you move Yunel to 2nd or trade him. And neither seems likely. If Han Ram gets moved Miami is going to get raked over the coals.

            Moving Yunel has been an idea mooted among the fanbase for quite some time now. Not many seem to project him as a long-term SS. 

            Between Lawrie, Escobar and Bautista you have a lot of positional flexibility. I wouldn’t ink in many of the positions just yet.

        In a straight up trade you would be right, sounds like they want to move him, and depending on who bites it might just take salary relief and some pitching. 

        Though i’d be wary of bringing in someone who only seems slightly less selfish/arrogant than Milton Bradley.

    I personally think this is the best thing for the Marlins to do, if the reports are true and the can bring in C.J Wilson they will have a 1,2 punch that can pretty much equal any other in the league. Then you obtain a good pitcher for Hanley and use that excess money on Prince… Scary team honestly…The worst case scenario for me as a Braves Fan

                Well when did I say “better”? I said equal to. Johnson would be great if he could actually last a full season and Wilson is highly overrated, which is why a 6 year deal for him seems so outrageous this offseason. I wasn’t accusing you of saying anything, I was simply asking you if you thought they were equal

                  No I don’t think they are equals, but you’d be hard pressed to find two other starters that would have the same talent, a healthy Johnson is comparable to any starter in the league, in my own mind. Lee is no doubt better than Wilson

        Johnson can take on Halladay any day. The big reason why Halladay got that perfect game was an error by the Marlins defense allowed the Phillies’ only run. The rest of the game, JJ and Halladay were trading zeroes.

        Wilson/Lee, on the other hand, advantage Lee.

        After the year that Ramirez had and the three years and $46.5MM remaining on his contract, there is no way that he would fetch that much in trade.  His value is about as low as it could possibly be right now.

    This guy is a CANCER! How pathetic is it that he’s coming off his worst season, and they bring in a dynamic player to play with him and he wants out when it looks like they are actually going to be a strong team. Not to mention the half hearted efforts he gives out in the field.

    Someone will pay a lot for him hoping last season was an outlier, but it may not be. This also sucks bad for the Marlins who were really baking on having two elite infielders. Losing HRam and getting Reyes is an upgrade but not a huge one.

        Not if Marlins kick in a little.  If Marlins kick in say, 3-5 mil a year, and if the return was say, James Shields, I think both teams would have to consider that.  Rays have already allotted 28.5 mil for Shields in the next 3 years.  Ramirez is at 45.  If Rays commitment to Ramirez can get around that 30-35 mark, I believe this could be a “Rafael Soriano” type of financial exception.

    If they do this they need to grab Albert. Huge loss to the offense. The return would also not be as good because most probably don’t see him as a shortstop anymore. A bad year last year also doesn’t help. This Loria’s fault. He made this mess and now he doesn’t want to deal with it.

      Actually a very good partner. Do the Brewers have what the Marlins would seek though? They’d have to take on the whole contract and give up at least three pieces. I think Green is an interesting piece. One of Thornburg or Peralta  would have to be included.

        I’d do it. I doubt the Marlins would. With all the guys we have in the clubhouse, I doubt Hanley would screw that up. It’s not going to happen though.

        I’d peg the Mariners as the favorite with all that young pitching they have.

    Not good for Hanley.  He is already remembered for jogging after the ball down down the left field line and subsequent run in with the manager.  Now he’s pouting when they ask him to change positions. 

    A player like this can be poison in the club house.  Buyer beware!

    Loria should tell Ramirez he wants his gold chain back and also.. He is not going to smooth things over this time should he go over the edge with regards to management, other players etc…

    The last part of this post makes no sense.  They have the money for Pujols+Reyes+Hanley, but not the money for Fielder+Reyes+Hanley so they’re going to move Hanley?  Come on, they’re just dumping him because he wants out and won’t move to third.

      There’s a lot more money in sponsor deals and ticket sales with Pujols in Miami than there is for Prince because of the Latin market there. The entire Marlins push behind trying to sign Pujols was that they were going to market him internationally in order to bring in extra revenue. Prince doesn’t do that for them. From a baseball perspective, I def like Prince more than Pujols.

      It is assumed that they sign Wilson or Buehrle if they don’t get Pujols.  If they sign a pitcher, there isn’t enough money for Prince, unless they trade Hanley first.

    this could be good for them and hanley, and for the potential trade partner.  Take the reds.  send him and Josh Johnson to cincy for votto and homer bailey or travis  wood and edinson volquez.  Hanley is possibly to motivate himself to once again prove his value, and earn the next contract.  and the Marlins get their 1st baseman, one that is as good a hitter as pujols and a better defender.  not to mention much younger.  While losing Josh Johnson hurts, he is also injury prone.  The reds would have a front line starter they covet, Alonso a position, and the marlins would also have Multiple rotation candidates with good stuff along with payroll flexibility for atleast 2 years (votto is a free agent after and would cost much less than pujols, is also a florida resident).

        1. Votto is better overall and cheaper than fielder.  
        2. Wood has good upside but if they dont like him bailey is another option, Volquez has great stuff when harnassed.
        3. No guarantee he resigns, but the payroll flexibility allows them to sign CJ Wilson and Mark Buehrle if they would choose to do so while still having plenty of money left over to offer to Votto in an extension.
        4. it also rids them of an unhappy player and potential hazard to the clubhouse. 

        not saying it is ideal, but an option.  No way cincy does it straight up for Votto, and Nolasco is not good enough as a side kick.  If, and i realize it is a big if, Volquez finds consistency he is top of the rotation type of starter.  Horrible season, mental lapses, absolutely great stuff.

      you’re close dude but not quite. Trade Votto and Cueto/Arroyo for Hanley and LoMo. The whole perk of this deal is that they can afford Hanley at his salary for the next 3 seasons while realistically they would not have been able to afford Votto after next season. Rotate Alonso and LoMo at 1b/LF keeping their legs rested. Reds lineup.

      2b) Phillips
      CF) Stubbs
      SS) Hanley
      RF) Bruce
      1b/LF) Alonso
      LF/1b) LoMo
      C) Mesoroco/Grandal
      3b) Rolen/Francisco/Frazier
      P

      That’s a really good looking lineup core to have locked up for the next three seasons at least, assuming they work out an extension with Phillips. If not, they still have Billy Hamilton waiting in the wings

    So the Marlins will get either Buehrle or Wilson, trade Hanley to fill 3B or CF or SP and gain salary space to make a run at Fielder. Should they sign Fielder they’ll then be discussing trades for Gaby Sanchez, who they’ll hope to use to again fill the 3B or CF holes. Quite the chain reaction from hell if you ask me.

    They have the opportunity to be pretty good at the beginning of the
    lineup with #1)Reyes, #2)Benefacio, #3)Ramirez, #4)Stanton.  It sounds
    pretty legit, but take Ramirez away and it doesn’t really have the same
    sparkle to it.  They should say no and force him to play 3rd, if he
    doesn’t play well because of personal reasons then its on him and he’ll get a crap contract next time around.  I know baseball is JUST A GAME to us, it’s a job to them.  Just because you’re working in a crap department doesnt mean you can pout and complain to management so they’ll move you somewhere else.  It doesnt work that way, he needs to stop being a baby and get over it.  It’s Kobe(Ramirez) and Shaq(Reyes) all over again.

    His value has never been lower, therefore they’ll never get what they want for him, and he’ll be stuck in Miami without his position.

    That said, he’s probably the one player I’d consider moving Castellanos for if I’m David Dombroski. Who knows? Maybe being with Cabby again will motivate him to have better at-bats next year?

    Dear Reuben,

    Thank you for spending the last of the trading chips from the farm on Hunter Pence, who was clearly more of a “want” than a “need” last year. Without him, we would have won the NL East and gotten beat in the NLDS. With him, we did that anyway.  Now, when opportunity presents itself to upgrade at a position where we actually have a need, our rainy day fund is dryer than a rosin bag.
