Marlins Trade Colin Rea Back To Padres Following Elbow Injury

By Steve Adams | August 1, 2016 at 12:57pm CDT

12:57pm: The Marlins announced that Rea has indeed been traded back to San Diego in exchange for Castillo. In essence, then, last Friday’s swap boils down to Miami acquiring Cashner and Guerrero in exchange for Cosart, Naylor and Capps.

12:52pm: The Marlins will be getting Castillo back from the Padres, tweets Rosenthal.

12:49pm: In a fairly stunning bit of news, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports reports that the Marlins will send right-hander Colin Rea back to the Padres (links to Twitter). Rea left his Marlins debut with an elbow injury and was quickly placed on the 15-day disabled list with an elbow sprain. Yahoo’s Jeff Passan tweets that the Marlins were “absolutely livid” and felt as though they were traded damaged goods by the Padres. Rosenthal notes that the exact structuring of the deal isn’t exactly clear, but the Padres will effectively trade Rea back to San Diego in a separate deal and keep Andrew Cashner, who came to Miami along with Rea in Friday’s seven-player trade.

Rea fired off 3 1/3 shutout innings in his Marlins debut, allowing just a lone hit and no walks with four strikeouts before departing with the aforementioned elbow injury. It’s not clear precisely how Miami will be compensated in this instance, as the swap is virtually unprecedented in nature. The Marlins sent first base prospect Josh Naylor, hard-throwing Class-A righty Luis Castillo, injured reliever Carter Capps and right-hander Jarred Cosart to the Padres in that deal in exchange for Rea, Cashner and right-hander Tayron Guerrero.

      He threw 3.1 innings of 1 hit baseball for the Marlins (with I think 5 Ks and 1 bb, both better than his rate for the season), so I’m not sure he was damaged goods… Shit happens

      Teams do physicals for players before approving deals. Doubt the marlins went into this not knowing this if the injury was pre existent. More like an injury happened, bad luck type of deal, and they’re blaming the padres so the marlins fan base doesn’t start chirping about it. Padres DIDNT have to trade castillo for rea unless the marlins could prove without a doubt the padres hid the medical information from the marlins…….doubt they could because it mostly likely didn’t happen that way.

      Do Padres when the give back trade too, Rea for their #15 prospect? Keep in mind Rea never gave up a run as a Marlin and looked dominant thru 3 innings. Preller originally said he didn’t want to add him but did to get Capps and Cosart added to the deal.

          Sorry, I meant the Marlins were crying, so Preller played the good guy and agreed to take Rea back. He didn’t want the Marlins to be impossible to deal with in the future.

          Rea was fine before the trade. He got hurt in his first start – unlucky. Cashner is an injury waiting to happen too. What happens when he goes down?

      The padres knew they were getting a guy that was recovering, the marlins thought they were getting a healthy pitcher that they could throw right into the rotation. I wish they hadnt done either trade, Rodney has been complete crap which anyone could have guessed. In my opinion cashner for cosart would have been a wash I dont know why anyone would ever give up any more for him.

    Isn’t this why they do physicals before a trade…… you know, medical clearance and whatnot. Pretty sure that’s what nixed the Gomez to NY trade last year and what Bruce is going through in his current trade as we speak. IMO Miami has no one to blame but themselves.

    EDIT: And the medical issue holding up the Bruce deal isn’t about Bruce. It is about one of the minor leaguers they’ll receive in exchange for Bruce. So yeah, they apparently do physicals and medical checks even on lowly minor leaguers. Again, Miami has no one to blame but themselves and their crap job at medically evaluating the players they’re acquiring. Breaking News Miami, as a Cubs fan I can tell you that Cashner is a constant injury waiting to happen. Pads fans will likely agree. So don’t be shocked if he’s on the DL before the year wraps up.

    Sounds like bad luck to me. Paddock is having TJ so does that mean we (the Padres) can redo our trade with Rodney! They should have done a complete physical before they threw him out there. Who says that they knew he was sore and decided to pitch him anyways.

      Padres didn’t want to trade Rea in the 1st place (he’s more valuable than Cashner). To get him back for their now #15 prospect isn’t that bad of a DL? Even if he does have TJ, everyone claims Padres aren’t competing in 2017. Rea eventually goes back into the rotation. Maybe by end of year if MRI comes back alright.

        A #4-5 SP needing TJ surgery for the #15 prospect is not a good deal. Castillo might throw a MLB pitch before Rea is back on the mound, and unlike Rea, Castillo has a lot more upside than Rea’s “soaking up 150 IP with a 4.50 era”

    These comments are funny. What’s the big deal? Luis Castillo, a 23 year old who has not pitched above A ball (aka too old for the level) is being sent back for a player who has actual MLB experience. Yes Rea may be out for a while, but Castillo might never get out of the minors. Either way this is not significant. The Padres are doing it so they don’t carry the bad reputation of possibly trading known injured players. That’s it. No big loss to them. The Marlins will avoid having to potentially stash a player on the DL for a year+. Again, it’s Colin Rea. Obviously the big part of the deal was Cashner and the Padres aren’t taking him back (yet) so he is probably healthy. At least they didn’t do something stupid like send back Naylor.

    There are precedents, though. In 1996 the Yankees acquired Graeme Lloyd, Pat Listach and a player to be named later in exchange for Bob Wickman and Gerald Williams.

    Pat Listach was injured when he got to the Yankees, he had suffered a broken foot and the Brewers never sent him to the DL, later arguing they thought it was a bruise. As soon as the Yankees noticed that issue they notified MLB about what the comissioner’s team did. The Brewers sent Ricky Bones as the player-to-be-named-later BUT he was also injured, he only pitched two games before they noticed; both teams arraigned a deal to trade back Listach for a different player (Gabby Martínez), a trade made valid at the end of the season since MLB required for Listach to be on the DL or the Yankees already had put him on the DL to fill his spot in the roster.

    Bones returned towards the end of the season to pitch two more games. Bones was let go at the end of the season while Listach’s trade back to the Brewers was made right before the beginning of the playoffs and immediately granted free agency by the Brewers.

    Yeah there’s no way Rea was hurt before the trade. I think this is simply a class move by the young Preller, who just gained a good measure of respect from rival GMs. Probably not in the Pads best interests right now, but it’s possible that teams could be more willing to trade with Preller in the future, especially when it counts more. You’ll never see it on paper, but he may have just added a nice intangible to his resume.
