Fernandez being shopped Dodgers and two other teams

mdwilla · December 7, 2015

Clubs that have spoken with the Marlins say they’ve put such a high price on Fernandez that any trade would be considered a long shot. An official of one club said the Marlins were asking for as many as five players in return for the 23-year-old right-hander. And another club executive said the Marlins were telling teams they would only consider moving Fernandez if the package in return made them better next season than they would be if they kept Fernandez, as well as putting several young players in place who could solidify their future.

ndications are that the Diamondbacks are another team that has inquired about Fernandez. Other clubs say that after signing Greinke, Arizona has turned its attention to trading for another starter to pair with him. While the Diamondbacks have also been linked to free-agent starter Mike Leake and others, the Greinke contract has left them with limited dollars to spend. So they’ve looked into trading for a number of young, less pricey starters, including Fernandez.
“I don’t know if they’ll wind up trading him,” said an executive of one club that spoke with the Marlins. “But if they do, I’m betting that’s where he goes -- to the Dodgers.”

If the Cubs are really looking to trade Soler.....

If the Cubs are really looking to trade Soler.....

And Schwarber. And Baez. And more than that.

Soler, Hendricks, Almora and Underwood would be as high as I'd go for Fernandez alone. Id be willing to include Torres and McKinney if Ozuna was involved.

You wouldn't get him then. I know I said earlier I wouldn't trade Soler and Baez in the same deal. But if the Cubs got Gordon/Heyward (I like putting them in that order because of the basketball player), then I'd probably give up Soler, Baez, and Hedricks (along with minor leaguers) for Fernandez and either Ozuna or a reliever.

I would absolutely trade Soler and Baez in this deal.

Marlins were asking for Seager and Urias.

It doesn't seem like this front office would want to give away all their assets for a young pitcher. It would be more likely if somebody like Stanton was available.
