Morosi On Nolasco, Santana, Pirates, White Sox

By Mark Polishuk | June 30, 2013 at 5:45pm CDT

In his latest column for FOX Sports, Jon Paul Morosi reminds us that you never know which trade deadline move will pay the biggest dividends.  For example, the deal that sent Marco Scutaro from the Rockies to the Giants last July ended up being the most influential move of the 2012 season, as Scutaro helped lead the Giants to a World Series title.  Here's Morosi's latest…

  • Wednesday could be a "soft deadline" for the Marlins to trade Ricky Nolasco.  That's the date of Nolasco's next scheduled start and also the day that Henderson Alvarez (Nolasco's probable replacement in the Miami rotation) comes off the disabled list.  Nolasco's recent struggles over his last few starts, however, haven't done much to help his trade stock.
  • "It may be wise" for the Pirates to investigate acquiring Nolasco, Matt Garza or Bud Norris, Morosi opines.  The Bucs could use veteran starting help if Wandy Rodriguez and A.J. Burnett are still a ways away from returning from the disabled list.
  • Ervin Santana "would instantly become one of the top arms" available if the Royals chose to trade the right-hander.  Santana will be a free agent this winter and is on pace (2.74 ERA, 4.67 K/BB, 7.2 K/9) for the best season of his nine-year career, though he has been aided by a low .253 BABIP and a high 82.8% strand rate.  The Royals play nothing but contenders until the All-Star break and if they haven't reached .500 by the Midsummer Classic, Morosi speculates they could become sellers.
  • The White Sox and Tigers haven't made a deal together since 1989, a fact that Chicago executive VP Kenny Williams notes "hasn’t been for lack of trying or fear on either part. It’s just one of those things.”  The two teams could be ideal trade partners this summer since Detroit is looking for relief pitching and the Sox have bullpen arms to spare.  Williams joked that he'd happily take one of Detroit's top prospects “for two players of our choosing.  We will consider that making good on the Tigers’ steal in ’89," in reference to Williams himself being part of that 24-year-old deal.
