Now that the dust has settled weeks after this year's trade deadline, new details have emerged from negotiations between the Marlins and Yankees regarding a possible Pablo López deal.
According to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, Miami offered López and veteran shortstop Miguel Rojas to New York in exchange for shortstop prospect Oswald Peraza and second baseman Gleyber Torres."The Yankees thought the price too steep," Rosenthal wrote. Ultimately, López was not moved before the deadline. If that reported offer is any indication of the Marlins' asking price from other contenders in López trade talks, it's no surprise.
López is under team control for another two years, flashing ace-caliber stuff at times this season in Miami (3.66 ERA over 25 starts). He's stumbled recently, however, posting a 6.00 ERA in seven starts since the All-Star break. López has also dealt with high barrel rates all year, producing the highest xERA (3.90) and xBA (.244) he's had since his age-23 season in 2019.
