Sorry, Doc, but I don't get the idea of Miami asking for Montero. They don't have a DH for more than 20 games a season, and they've got Brantley to catch, who is in the conversation as a top young catcher along with Perez, Mesoraco, and Norris. Given Miami's weak spots, I think the conversation starts with Seager (who can fit at 2nd or 3rd for them) and Guti or Saunders to fill in for Stanton until Yelich and Marisnick are ready; and I think they'd go for Guti because of the Caribbean vibe they want. Then the package would be along the lines of the Upton offer, especially Walker and Franklin and maybe Paxton or Maurer,too, but they have some good relievers, so I'd guess they'd be more interested in promising starters, especially if we took Nolasco, too, but non-40-man style; probably two or more of Sanchez, Shipers, Elias or Kim. It may all be dreaming, but Miami HAS needs, and any trade would have to fill as many as possible of those needs with "ranked" prospects or young MLB players to overcome the flack of losing Stanton. And any 40-man roster player has to be better than they have on their (full) roster now. Yet I still think we could make a offer that wouldn't totally gut the farm and would net Stanton and Nolasco.
