Miami Marlins

Ricky Nolasco (RHP, MIA) has seen his name come up in numerous trade rumors in recent days. Given his contract status—he’s due $11.5 million in 2013, the final year of his contract—and the rebuilding status of his team, it’s highly likely that he will be dealt by the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline.
