Dodgers Acquire Ricky Nolasco: MLB Rumors - MLBTradeRumors.com



Giants lose out on Nolasco. To a close rival. And with the most recent Nolasco rumors including the Rockies in hot pursuit as well. The Giants are under more pressure to make a move today than they were yesterday.

Nolasco is still a rental and IMO Norris was / is still the better option / fit for the Giants, but for now his sticker price may be rising.

Dodgers Acquire Ricky Nolasco: MLB Rumors - MLBTradeRumors.com:

After dominating the trade rumor headlines for weeks, Ricky Nolasco has finally found a new team. The Southern California native will get a chance to play for his hometown Dodgers, as the club officially agreed today to acquire the longtime Marlins starter in exchange for a trio of pitching prospects. Headlining the arms coming to Miami is young righty Angel Sanchez, who is joined by right-handed relievers Steve Ames and Josh Wall.

Angel Sanchez is the 8th ranked prospect in the Dodgers organization according to mlb.com. For the Giants purposes the rough equivalent would be Chris Heston or Martin Agosta. The other two Dodgers are throw-ins and more suspect than prospect at this point. Good deal for the Dodgers and ups the ante for the Giants to make a definitive move on the pitching front.

Angel Sanchez
Rank: 8
Status: Traded
ETA: 2015
Position: RHP
Age: 23, DOB: 11/28/1989
Bats: R, Throws: R
Height: 6' 3", Weight: 177
Signed: July 12, 2010 - LAD

Scouting Grades* (present/future): Fastball: 6/6 | Slider: 4/5 | Changeup: 4/5 | Control: 4/5 | Overall: 4/5
Sanchez burst on the scene with the Dodgers by making his U.S. debut in the Midwest League in 2011 and pitching extremely well. His followup in the California League didn't go nearly as well, and the first part of his 2013 season was up and down, but his youth, stuff and size are all likely reasons the Marlins wanted him as part of the deal for Ricky Nolasco in July. He has a live arm and a free and easy delivery, which brings fastballs that touch 95 mph with good movement. His secondary stuff is more inconsistent, though he's shown glimpses of a strong, tilting slider and an effective changeup. The ball jumps out of his hand, and if he can learn to command the ball within the strike zone more effectively, he still has the chance to get back on track.
