Wade Davis makes something like $15 milllion over the next two years. Doubt the Marlins want any part of that, especially considering his huge failure as a starter last year despite the advantages of the Royals D and home park.
His best value is going to come in trying to sell him to a team that needs a closer.
They wouldn't want any of Dyson, Aoki, Collins, Guthrie or Hayes. Those players have practically no value to the Marlins and very little value to other teams in general.
A team in desperate need of innings might be interested in picking up Guthrie as its No. 4 or 5 starter, but that's about it.
Dyson is a pretty ordinary 4th OF, despite the beliefs of Ned Yost and Dayton Moore. Aoki has a 1/2 year left and has been disappointing so far. Collins is a middle inning reliever who is struggling mightily (and also is undersized, expensive). Hayes is effing awful.
You have to trade value (talent, years of control) to get value. Moving spare parts around doesn't get you anything.
The Marlins don't need Kelvin Herrera. That doesn't add much value, either.
Again, trade talks with them would have to START with:
RA Mondesi
One of Duffy/Ventura (or maybe Zimmer if you're really lucky)
One of Almonte/Binford
And additional pieces (this is where you maybe throw in a Kelvin Herrera and a Jorge Bonifacio).
