Josh Johnson Rumors: Sunday

By Ben Nicholson-Smith | July 29, 2012 at 4:32pm CDT

Cole Hamels, Zack Greinke and Matt Garza are off the trade market, which leaves Josh Johnson at or near the top of the list of potentially available starting pitchers. The Marlins will listen to trade offers for Johnson, who's under contract through 2013 at $13.75MM per season, but the team’s asking price remains high. Here are the latest updates on Johnson and the Marlins, with the most recent notes up top:

  • The Rangers aren't interested in Johnson and the Red Sox are "not engaged," Peter Gammons of MLB Network writes (on Twitter). It's unlikely that any team will offer a package that tempts the Marlins to part with him.
  • The Rangers aren't that high on Johnson, MLB.com's T.R. Sullivan reports.
  • The Rangers have interest in Johnson, but they aren't close to meeting the Marlins' asking price, Jim Bowden of ESPN.com and MLB Network Radio reports (on Twitter).
  • The Red Sox sent top scout Gary Hughes to see Johnson's start today, Bowden reports (on Twitter).
  • ESPN.com's Buster Olney reported today that the Marlins aren't especially motivated to trade Johnson.

    The Red Sox sent a scout? I would send the team doctor instead.

      The team doctor is pretty busy nowadays any way.

    The Red Sox should be asking the Marlins for tips on how fire sales work. They shouldn’t be buying anything right now.

    Who says Garza off the Market because they could be a team that desprate for Starting Pitching and might not mind him little banged up.

      I was wondering the same thing. There is no indication he is off the market. The Cubs will trade him, but they just won’t be giving a discount.

        why would the team trade for a injured starter with a high asking price?

          he’s throwing his bullpen session tomorrow. all meds are being made available. josh johnson much bigger injury risk. asking price will be just as high in winter with more teams bidding.

            Johnson is currently healthy so no it is not. And they will be more likely to reach their asking price if he is healthy over the winter.

    I would be hesitant to trade for Johnson only because of injury history.

      No way they move Lavarnway. Maybe that package minus Lavarnway, plus Aaron Cook and Ryan Sweeney or something.

        Agreed. Lavarnway is almost untouchable to me. And certainly shouldn’t be included in any deal for an injury prone pitcher.

    Good I hope the Fish dont trade him. He will give us a stud in the rotation next year to use to hold everything down. Plus the arms we picked up we should be fine. I also expect Stanton to be healthy and Reyes to bounce back. The team has said that they will spend the money that they saved on hanley and we should be fine.

    Only should trade Johnson for an overpayment. He is a number 1 pitcher on most of the teams in the league.
