Joe Frisaro of MLB.com heard that the Rangers, in talking to the Marlins about acquiring Jorge Cantu, also figured it was worth a hail marry pass and inquired to see if the Marlins would consider trading All-Star Josh Johnson.

Texas right out of the gate was willing to part with their top three prospects, just to get the conversation rolling for the hard-throwing Florida ace.

Before a conversation could even get started, the Marlins made it clear that Johnson is “unmovable.”

In the first of a four-year, $39 million contract, Johnson is one of the top talents in the game. The 26-year-old right-hander is 10-3 and he holds a MLB-leading 1.72 ERA.
