According to a person familiar with the situation, the Dodgers, Orioles, Giants, Rangers and Rockies are among the teams in the race to acquire Ricky Nolasco from the Marlins.
The Dodgers have been considered a favorite since they might be willing to absorb the $5.75 million remaining on Nolasco's contract for this season.
The Rockies are said to have offered two pretty decent prospects, but are resistant to paying the salary.
The Padres might be another player for Nolasco.
"He's not a No. 1 or a No. 2. He's a No. 3 or No. 4, but what he is going to give you is a lot of innings," one scout said. "With a little run support, he can be a solid guy."
