Miami was supposed to be the other treasure trove.  Names I've heard are Sixto Sanchez, Edward Cabrera, Sandy Alcantara, Trevor Rogers, Pablo Lopez, Jesus Luzardo, Zach Thompson, Elieser Hernandez.  All would be expensive in terms of trade value.  There's also Max Meyer but he's probably not considered major league ready and might also be the most expensive to try to acquire. 

Marlins are stacked with pitching and might be willing to trade in return for positional talent ready to compete.  Their only roster "lock" might be RF Jesus Sanchez although they have competent choices elsewhere in the batting order.  Depends on how jazzed the Marlins are about Jazz Chisholm at 2B, as to whether my preferred trading chip of Arraez would work.  They might want Celestino to fill a hole in CF, though I haven't kept up with their offseason.  One of our bat-first left fielders probably would interest them.  Plus they'd require a whole lot more of course, depending on which pitcher we target.

A trade that helps both teams could plausibly result in them facing in a World Series.  Despite losing 95 last year, Miami looks poised to compete seriously.

I think Miami also needs a DH now too and we have those in spades.

The Padres may be ready to move Paddock, Snell & Clevinger (1 year in recovering from TJ. surgery)& Lement. But there are injury concerns. Tampa Bay may have interest in trading pitching for prospects.

Tampa is ALWAYS looking to trade but be careful they always seem to fleece teams... they always seem to have good pitching but not sure I would want any of their rotation at this point....

You mean like how they bilked us out of perennial all-star shortstop Jermaine Palacios, foisting on us some pitcher whose name escapes me at the moment ....

Looking at the depth charts of all the teams in both leagues I am feeling MUCH better! There are a couple of elite staffs but after that .... everyone is pretty much in the same boat... 

Still I think we need to get something done but as is we are as good as 2/3 of the league....

Always like Alcantara...if Castillo was an option wouldn't they have just included him in the Gray trade??

The Reds claim they are not having a fire sale. But I'm guessing he's available for the right price.

We could all swallow just a little puke and get Trevor Bauer fairly cheap I would guess... may be suspended for a while but is an ace when on the bump... odd and just a bit off but... darn good. 

How is he post-sticky-stuff? If I'm doing the math in my head correctly, the sample size is small enough that we have no idea.

I'd root for the twins to lose every game forever if they did that.
