Uh, I don't think the article states that they are going to trade him. It's merely the writer speculating.

Not even sure why they would think about it,it's not a FA yet,and there trying to get a new stadium,so I'd think they would keep the young guys together,atleast the Marlins have gotten two World Series before they got rid of the guys.

Numbered as in he'll be a free agent in a few years.

There is no reason for Kazmir to sign a long-term deal with the Rays. Sure, his arm can explode at any moment I guess, but he'll be a free agent after the 2010 season where he'll be 26 years old. One of the youngest free agents pitchers I can think of and some team will be able to secure basically all of his peak years. The Red Sox just dropped over 100 million dollars for 6 years of a 26 year old pitcher who had no leverage and had never thrown a pitch in a major league game.

I have no idea what kind of contract offers he'll get, but an older and significantly more mediocre pitcher in Barry Zito got 7/127. 7/175-200 wouldn't so crazy for Kazmir given that contract for Zito.

He would look really nice in a Brewers uniform!
