[Levine] Cubs and Marlins talking deal for starter Jesús Luzardo. Marlins want young controllable bat back.James Triantos or Owen Cassie would likely be in the deal. @BNightengale first to report Cubs interest.

  1. Yeah, I’ll pass. Luzardo isn’t that good for Caissie to be included, and why would they get another lefty?

  3. Idk how I feel about Hoyer cashing in on prospects this way. Im all for using them as trade chips if it makes sense not for rentals or up and down career players

  5. That seems a bit steep for 2 years of control of Luzardo. Assuming this is just the early reports of what Miami is asking though.

  6. 2 types of players you trade high quality prospects for:

    1) young cost controlled talents
    2) superstar rentals

    Luzardo is neither. Jordan “Meatball” Wicks will have a better 2025 than him

  7. Dude is coming off a rough injury and that is way too steep for a guy like Luzardo. Hard pass.

  9. I’d trade Triantos. I’m still not sure where he plays defensively long-term.

    Caissie is good insurance in case Tucker doesn’t sign though.

  12. Luzardo (career)

    GP: 105 / GS: 89 / ERA: 4.31

    No way. Not for any ‘top’ prospects.

    I don’t want to see Caissie mentioned unless we’re looking at a Cease caliber starter.

  15. If all they want is Triantos I would say yes to this trade every day and twice on Sundays. I just see no fit for him on the roster and no way he ever plays for the team. He also just really has no ceiling — he won’t be a star in MLB even if he’s solid.

    Caissie I would not trade for Luzardo, though I would consider it for a pitcher with a better track record of health

  16. I’m giving Caissie for Alcantara (with a lot more, obviously). He’d be an overpay for Luzardo.

  27. Absolutely not, San Diego has looked at getting rid of Cease, we need to explore the best SP options before settling.
