Which teams, other than Miami, can trade starters?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Luckily, if a team is unable or unwilling to meet the asking price of a member of the Marlins starting coop, there are other teams willing to trade from the available starting options. The Mariners <strong>Chris Flexen<\/strong> Also <strong>Marco Gonzalez<\/strong>, both could hold behind the candidate rotation.Mets express willingness to listen to offer <strong>Carlos Carrasco<\/strong>we can also offer backend options to teams looking to add to their rotation. Teams looking for a bit more upside can discuss <strong>Chris Sale<\/strong> With the Red Sox, he&#8217;s in big trouble after a hefty paycheck and a campaign marred by several injuries.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also worth noting that starting pitchers forced out of rotations by offseason additions or recent prospect graduations may move to other clubs with a plethora of pitching options.For example, both <strong>Adrian Hauser<\/strong> (Brewers) too <strong>Adrian Sampson<\/strong> (Cubs) have a definite turning spot for now. The Braves have multiple MLB-capable arms competing for a single rotation spot (<strong>Mike Soroka<\/strong>, <strong>Ian Anderson<\/strong>, <strong>Bryce Elder<\/strong>).The Guardian was happy to hear names like <strong>Zac Pressac<\/strong> When <strong>Aaron Sibert<\/strong> before the trading deadline. Ultimately, there are still options available to teams looking to add a starting pitcher, but few (if any) combine the certainty and advantage of Miami&#8217;s example. <strong>Pablo Lopez<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. What options did the White Sox have at second base?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The White Sox are now due to run out <strong>Lurie Garcia<\/strong> When <strong>Romy Gonzales<\/strong> But neither of these options are particularly exciting. Garcia posted his OPS of just .500 in his 2022, but Gonzalez&#8217;s .609 mark isn&#8217;t much better.Free agency offers the possibility of reuniting with either <strong>Josh Harrison<\/strong> Also <strong>Elvis Andrus<\/strong>but like the bounceback candidate, there is little to prevent certainty <strong>Jonathan Biller<\/strong> still available. Overall, Rick Hahn&#8217;s front office seems to need to survey his trade market to acquire new talent.<\/p>\n<p>As MLBTR&#8217;s Anthony Franco told us yesterday, one of the teams with many options at second base is the Blue Jays. Toronto is <strong>Whit Merrifield<\/strong>, <strong>Cavern Visio<\/strong>When <strong>Santiago Espinal<\/strong>, Merrifield probably gets the majority of his time playing outside the gates. There are some advantages, as either Vizio or Espinal are upgraded over the White Sox&#8217;s in-house options, and both have shown themselves to be above-average regulars in the past. The Padres, on the other hand, <strong>Kim Ha-sun<\/strong>, However, since regular as an infielder is also scheduled, it may not be easy to acquire.of Miami <strong>Joey Wendle <\/strong>Kicked out of the starting lineup by signing with the Marlins <strong>Jean Segura<\/strong>There is a lot of speculation about the Yankees transfer <strong>graver torres<\/strong> Throughout the offseason, and at least the Rockies discussed <strong>Brendan Rogers<\/strong> In talks with the Marlins (albeit with Colorado wanting the type of controllable MLB pitching the White Sox don&#8217;t necessarily have to offer).<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.
