Ricky Nolasco on the market?

"Ricky Nolasco appeared to be off-limits as recently as July, but the Marlins may have changed their stance on the righty. The team will give serious thought to trading Nolasco this offseason, a source who spoke to a front office member told Juan C. Rodriguez of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.

The biggest issue with Nolasco is his performance...."

Intriguing

His performance has kind of dipped the last few years with the K/9 going down. On the other hand, he still might be better than some in-house options the Bucs have.

He's a good starter.

I’d be willing to trade for him, at the right price.

if you were the Bucs FO

what would you be willing to give up for him?

Not a ton.

He’s basically on a market-value deal for the next two years, so you aren’t buying a lot of marginal value once you get past the cost of his contract itself. A B- prospect or two C/C+ types, with us picking up all his money.

That might or might not get it done, of course.

I've been a Nolasco fan for a while

I think he’s a good candidate to have a bounce-back year. He’s also suffered through some pretty bad and also controversy-filled Florida teams, so a change of scenery might do him good.

For the record, I’d definitely feel better handing him the ball than Correia. And while I don’t think his ceiling is as high as Morton or McDonald, he’s generally more consistent.
