Lets say the Marlins have a firesale. Here is some moves I see them making.

Yankees get
Justin Bour

Marlins get
Dustin Fowler
Zach Littell
Hoy Jun Park

Red Sox get
Martin Prado
David Phelps

Marlins get
Sam Travis
Trey Ball

Mariners get
Dan Straily

Marlins get
Evan White
Tyago Viera
Boog Powell

So the Mariners pay the biggest price for Dan Straily? Interesting.

Colorado Rockies. 2017's biggest surprise is off to a sizzling start, and it wouldn't be a surprise if they gave up quality prospects to improve their big league roster. I see them with two needs - rotation and bullpen.

For any pitchers that they acquire, a high Ground Ball Percentage is essential, so that the long ball can be limited.

Rotation candidates
Sonny Gray (53.8 GB% since 2015)
Marcus Stroman (60.7 GB% since 2015)
Garrett Richards (54.1 GB% since 2015)

Bullpen candidates
Dan Jennings (59 GB%)
Mark Rzepczynski (67.9 GB%)
Brad Ziegler (67.9 GB%)

Realistically, I see them going after Gray and Ziegler. Jays and Halos are unlikely to trade away their stars.

Rockies acquire: Sonny Gray
Athletics acquire: Riley Pint, David Dahl, Ben Bowden

Rockies acquire: Brad Ziegler
Marlins get: Peter Lambert, Forrest Wall, Sam Moll

Gray may be dealt, but I cannot see Colorado giving up that much for him.

Ziegler for 3 of the Rockies top 30 prospects? I don't think so. Not every reliever will bring in big returns. Plus the Marlins aren't smart enough to ask for something like that.

3.) 05 Jun 2017 20:04:23
Replace Dahl with Tapia and/ or Pint with Castellani and it's a little more realistic.

If any jays starter gets traded from the Jays, it won't be Stroman or Sanchez. Estrada and Happ might be up for grabs though if Jays fall farther back.

Colorado isn't trading Dahl he is their future in the OF. Cargo and Blackman aren't getting any younger. I could see them looking to move Story who just hasn't been the same since his injury and give someone like Brendan Rodgers a shot at the everyday shortstop role. But they have a really good young core. I think they wait one more year before actually going into full win now mode. Let guys like Dahl and Gray and Ottavino get healthy and then this offseason look for an upgrade at 1st (doubt Reynolds can keep his pace up) and possibly at SS (but I personally say give Rodgers a shot at the end of the year when the rosters expand. So I say wait one more year and then focus on winning now and pick up a bullpen arm or two possibly a rotation arm and then an upgrade at 1st and possibly at SS and C too. But their time is definitely coming and pretty soon they will become a postseason regular again like they use to be.
