Marlins Rumors: Lindstrom, Cantu, Uggla
Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald packs his Marlins rumors into one paragraph:
We hear the Marlins have been getting trade inquiries about Matt Lindstrom and are considering dealing him. One Marlins official said Leo Nuñez seems better-suited to close games. The Marlins lean toward keeping Jorge Cantu (who has drawn interest) but would consider an extraordinary offer. Dan Uggla remains likely to be dealt.
It's fitting to see Lindstrom's name on the trading block, since he's arbitration-eligible for the first time. Lindstrom had an ugly year; he spent time on the DL with an elbow strain.
The Marlins' desire to retain Cantu is surprising. His salary will continue to increase in 2010, and he's shaky defensively.
