08:08 AM ET 11.29 | Miami may not have closed up the offseason shopping just yet. Marlins veteran starter Ricky Nolasco, the one high-priced veteran remaining on Miami's roster, is still available in trade at the right price, competing executives said. The Marlins won't trade young superstar Giancarlo Stanton, but Nolasco is in another category, rivals said. There's interest in him, but after a so-so season in which he went 12-13 with a 4.48 ERA, the Marlins probably couldn't expect a large return. Nolasco, a dependable right-hander, makes more than double all his teammates at $11.5 million, and more than five times all but one teammate (the just-acquired Yunel Escobar makes $5 milion). No other Marlins player makes more than $2 million.

What the marlins have been doing is dumping payroll. It's not stockpiling prospects. So, they're absolutely keeping Stanton. He's a bargain.

The more Loria dumps the more goes into his pockets via revenue sharing.

The two main teams that need pitching is the two small market teams in KC and Minn., which neither one of them can afford to take on that big of a contract for a starting pitcher.

Nolasco makes way too much money for a #4 starter.

Don't see how without anyone to protect him in the lineup. Have a base open? Walk him.

When they are losing by 4 or 5 every night, he'll see some pitches in garbage time.
