Marlins Barbecue Episode 12: Cooking up trade possibilities

Red Garcia and Alex Contreras Red Garcia and Alex Contreras (once again) take exception to some of Don Mattingly’s lineups and in-game maneuvers (2:20). They discuss the combination of Marlins trade targets and players on the verge of returning from the injured list (7:45). Also, the guys look forward to a critical week on the field with eight total games scheduled against the Nationals, Mets and Rays.

Inspired by a Jim Bowden trade proposal, Red draws up the following two-for-two exchange:

• Marlins get RHP Mychal Givens and INF Hanser Alberto
• Orioles get RHP José Ureña and RHP Jordan Holloway

These teams recently collaborated on trades involving Jonathan Villar and Richard Bleier.

It was previously reported by Jon Morosi of MLB Network that Miami has been monitoring Kansas City’s veteran relievers.

Here’s the upcoming Marlins schedule:

• Monday—6:05 p.m. ET vs. Nationals at Nationals Park
• Tuesday (doubleheader)—first game begins 5:10 p.m. ET vs. Mets at Citi Field
• Wednesday—7:10 p.m. ET vs. Mets at Citi Field
• Thursday—7:10 p.m. ET vs. Mets at Citi Field
