Marlins already spiraling toward possible trade deadline selloff
NY Post
At 0-7, the Marlins already look like likely sellers.
They dangled Jesus Luzardo earlier. Their most serious talks were with the Orioles, who acquired Corbin Burnes instead. Luzardo isn’t a free agent until after 2026.
Edward Cabrera is another viable trade candidate.
The Padres have been considering Tommy Pham but want to stay under the $237 million first-tied luxury-tax threshold. That would leave them just $2M-$3M. They’d also prefer to have money for the trade deadline.
Hard to believe Brandon Belt is still out there. But first base is a tough spot. Also free are Trey Mancini, Luke Voit and others.
Nick Pivetta was a trade target this winter, but his value is increasing with two more very good starts. He should do well in free agency.
Just when it appeared that the Rangers might — might — have been gaining at least a smidgen of traction, they lost not only a 3-0 first-period lead, they lost not only a 4-3 third-period lead, they lost not only a 5-4 overtime game to Dallas at the Garden on Monday, but they also lost their tenuous foothold.
