Long List Of Teams Interested In AJ Ramos

By charliewilmoth | July 24, 2017 at 8:45pm CDT

MONDAY: In addition to the Rockies and Cubs, the Nationals are said to be “expressing strong interest” in Ramos, per Bob Nightengale of USA Today (via Twitter). Ramos has previously been tied to the Nats, though those talks reportedly took place before the team’s recent addition of a pair of late-inning relievers. Of course, Washington is still said to be looking at yet more relief targets.

SATURDAY: The Diamondbacks, Rockies, Rays, Red Sox, Cubs, Brewers and others all have interest in Marlins closer AJ Ramos, FanRag’s Jon Heyman tweets. ESPN’s Jerry Crasnick and others tweeted earlier this week that the Marlins were taking calls on Ramos.

The Marlins, of course, recently traded reliever David Phelps to Seattle for a package including outfield prospect Brayan Hernandez, and Ramos could potentially be an even more desirable trade target. The 30-year-old has a 4.08 ERA and 4.8 BB/9 this season, but with a strong 11.5 K/9. He also has 89 career saves and a long history of success in the ninth inning, making him a strong late-inning option for a contender. (Of course, many clubs on Heyman’s list of interested teams, including the Rockies, Red Sox, Cubs and Brewers, appear set at closer, but that wouldn’t preclude them from having interest in another good late-inning arm.) Ramos can be controlled through 2018 via the arbitration process.

With Phelps gone, the Marlins are expected to lean harder on Junichi Tazawa, as MLB.com’s Joe Frisaro recently explained. Tazawa has pitched nine scoreless innings this month. The team also has Kyle Barraclough, Nick Wittgren and Dustin McGowan to pitch in the late innings. It’s not yet clear, however, who would take over the closer role should Ramos depart.

    Seems like Drew Steckenrider will take on more roles with the Marlins should Ramos get traded.

    Pirates could sure use Ramos. NH should be on the phone with Miami today.

      Red Sox could use Ramos too depending on the asking price.

      I don’t see the Bucs getting him as they’d have to pay the price of a closer for a guy they’d pitch in the 8th since Rivero clearly has the 9th.

    Ramos could go to Boston for CJ Chatham and Travis Lakins. Ramos has 1 1/2 years left and Chatham could be a potential successor to Hechavarria at Shortstop and Lakins has decent potential and they are the Sox number 6 and 7 prospects I’m pretty sure

      That’s a decent trade proposal for Ramos! Sox could really use Ramos with Thornburg, Smith, and Kelly out. It would also keep Farrell from over using Barnes!

    This could make sense for the Cardinals, A pitcher who can actually close out games. I doubt I will happen though.

    Don’t get why the Cubs think they are running away with the Central they have a shot but they are not getting there by luck again

    Should LAA fall completely out of WC contention, what do you all think the Angels could get for Bud Norris (2.23 ERA, 41G, 40.1 IP, 51K, 1.06 WHIP) from any of the teams Charlie referenced above?

      Maybe a mid level prospect. 10-15th best on a team with a decent system, I would think.

      A 6 pack of Bud light. Joking aside base on his numbers the Angels should be able to get a prospect in 15-20 range.

    The cubs can be interested in every piece in baseball but it doesn’t mean they can afford any of them

    What if the Yankees got Ramos? Right now i think they already have the best bullpen in the MLB. They have Chapman as the closer, betances in the eight, and another great closer in the seventh in Robertson. So they have three closers. Then they just got kahnle to be the 6th inning guy and he has a ERA under 2.5. Then adam warren who is very underrated because his era is under 2. Then lefty specialist Shreve with a great era. Longman chad green is doing great. And if they added Ramos they would no doubt have the best pen in the MLB.

    Ramos for Hector Rondon when Cubs bump him last year for Chapman he was not the same a change of scenery plus we give up Candelea he could start for them at short and could be a all star if he get the confidence of not playing behind Bryant and Rizzo

    Ramos would look good as a 8th inning guy then challenge Edwards, Rondon for the Closer next year Spring training could. E fun hoping WADE Davis re sign he is a true stud.
