  6. Jerry Crasnick ‏@jcrasnick 2m2 minutes ago #Marlins #Mariners trade talks ultimately hinge on whether Seattle has a starter who can convince Miami to part with Ozuna. Jerry Crasnick ‏@jcrasnick 2m2 minutes ago Taijuan Walker not available, and James Paxton is a health risk. Would Roenis Elias or Nate Karns suffice for #Marlins?
  7. Joe Frisaro ‏@JoeFrisaro 4m4 minutes agoCooper City, FL sounds like #Marlins and #Mariners could be aiming to complete a larger deal than simply Ozuna for a starting pitcher. Jose Fernandez to the Mariners

  13. I don't think any teams would offer him a guaranteed MLB contract and I don't think he would want to come back on a minor league one.

  16. http://www.thestar.com/sports/baseball/2015/11/24/blue-jays-prospect-rowdy-tellez-turns-heads-in-arizona-fall-league.html Before we get into the baseball bona fides of Blue Jays prospect Rowdy Tellez, let’s first deal with his name. For starters, is that really what’s on his birth certificate? Sadly, no. Legally, he’s Ryan Tellez. But only the government calls him that. To everybody else, he’s always been Rowdy. “My grandma, like, my Dad’s mom, she doesn’t know my real name,” Tellez says over the phone from Scottsdale, Arizona, where he was representing the Jays in the Arizona Fall League. “I’m not lying. I could ask her and she wouldn’t know my real name. I’ve got cousins that don’t know my real name. Half my teammates don’t. I went by Rowdy in high school. Some of my good friends just found out when I signed (with the Blue Jays) and it listed me as ‘Ryan Tellez,’ and they were like, ‘Is that you?’” He actually earned his unusual moniker before he was born by making a restless first impression in utero. “They didn’t know if I was a boy or a girl and I moved around a lot in my mom’s stomach,” Tellez says. “My grandma just said, ‘Oh, it’s ‘Baby Rowdy,’ and it stuck.” It remains a fitting title for the beefy slugger, known for crashing riotous homers off minor-league scoreboards and light fixtures. At spring training earlier this year, the 20-year-old, left-handed-hitting first baseman was called up to big-league camp to fill in for Edwin Encarnacion in just one at-bat. He used his lone opportunity to smash a tape-measure homer off the executive offices beyond the right-field wall. Tellez, who is listed as six-foot-four and 245 pounds, did much the same in Arizona as one of seven Jays farmhands selected for the six-week development league and showcase for Major League Baseball’s top prospects. The California native hit .293/.352/.488 with four homers and 17 RBIs in 21 games in the fall league, which wrapped up on the weekend. “We’re very pleased with his performance,” Jays interim general manager Tony LaCava told the Star. “We challenged him as a young player to go (to the fall league) and he has far exceeded our expectations.” LaCava describes Tellez as a “throwback” style of hitter. “He plays the game with a lot of naturalness,” LaCava explained. “It’s not a cookie-cutter swing. There’s a lot of rhythm to it, much like hitters in the past.” Jays MVP Josh Donaldson also took notice of Tellez earlier this month, posting to Twitter soon after Tellez cracked a sweet-sounding, no-doubt homer into the desert sky. “Turn on the TV just in time to see another Blue Jay bringing some rain!” Donaldson tweeted with a photo of Tellez. “I like those movements.” While he has always garnered most of his attention for his prodigious power, Tellez has been focused lately on improving his defence, coming in early every day to take 100 ground balls and 30 picks before the team’s mandatory daily practice begins. The Jays drafted Tellez in 2013 out of high school. He slipped to the 30th round due to signability concerns, but he was never a 30th-round talent and didn’t sign for 30th-round money, inking a $850,000 bonus. While he likely remains at least another two years away from knocking on the door of the big leagues, Tellez is fast climbing the ranks of the Jays’ minor-league system, concluding last season with the high Class-A Dunedin Blue Jays, three rungs below the majors. Tellez, who says he modeled himself after other power-hitting first basemen such as Jim Thome and Adrian Gonzalez, says he’s just happy to get back on the field after missing the last six weeks of the minor-league season with a broken hamate bone in his right hand. “The hand’s doing great now and I’m just having a blast out here facing all these top-notch guys from each organization.” He says he’s not worried about what level the Jays will assign him to start next season. “I’m just going to go out and do the best I can anywhere I go, so anywhere they send me I’m going to try to exceed everybody’s expectations and make it to the big leagues, where everybody’s dreams are.”
