Around SBN: Lowrie Forces Angels To Walk-Off Back To Anaheim Bar-right-arrows



Marlins are in the middle of everything

Will Carroll believes the Commissioner's Office has been informed of a Red Sox-Pirates-Marlins trade even though the teams haven't agreed on the prospects.  Here's how he sees it:

Marlins get Manny Ramirez, one prospect (BOS), and cash (likely Ramirez’s remaining salary)
Pirates get Jeremy Hermida and three prospects (two FLO, one BOS)
Red Sox get Jason Bay and John Grabow

Theirs also rumors of a Mike Jacobs for Bengie Molina of the Giants.  I'm thinking that one is just staright up.

And the one from earlier today.......

The Marlins could be closer to a deal to acquire left-handed reliever Arthur Rhodes from the Seattle Mariners, who are looking only for a midlevel minor-league prospect in return. Rhodes, 37, is 2-0 with a 3.83 ERA in 35 relief appearances this season.

Not crazy about Molina,

though getting anyone to take Jacobs would be an impressive feat in and of itself.

I wish we could get Ryan Doumit from the Pirates.

Also, Mike Berardino says the latest rumor is this, though it’s almost assuredly too good to be true:

Latest rumor has the Marlins, Pirates and Red Sox combining on a three-way deal, with Manny, Hermida and Jason Bay the primaries.

The Beaver County (Pa.) Times had it first, but now XM radio has come along with a version that has Manny, Pirates lefty John Grabow and $6 million in case coming to the Fish.

Fish would give up Hermida and minor leaguers Hector Correa, a Class A RHP who has made just four starts this year due to injury, and Triple-A OF Jai Miller, which doesn’t seem like nearly enough for what they’re getting back. That, to me, wouldn’t be enough to rent Manny for two months, let alone get a top lefty AND enough money to rebuild Col. Steve Austin.

Then again, Pirates’ talks about Bay with the Rays aren’t dead yet, so this could still collapse.
