Marlins Rumors: Uggla, Ross, Cantu, Johnson
Joe Capozzi of The Palm Beach Post has some Marlins rumors for us today...
- The front office will explore options for trading some of their 11 arbitration eligible players at the GM meetings this week. They already moved one in Jeremy Hermida over the weekend.
- Capozzi writes that there are "indications" that Dan Uggla will be traded by next month's winter meetings. The 29-year-old pounds out 30+ homer seasons like they're going out of style, but he made $5.35MM in just his first year of arbitration in 2009.
- Cody Ross is expected back after earning $2.225MM in his first year of arbitration.
- Capozzi says it's "a 50-50 split" as to whether Jorge Cantu stays or not. He earned $3.5MM in 2009 and can become a free agent next offseason.
- The Marlins aren't going to increase payroll much from last season, if they do at all.
- The team is preparing a multi-year offer for ace Josh Johnson.

i hope uggla goes to the phillies to play third. can't wait to watch those strike outs pile up.
Posted by: Jspencer8 | November 09, 2009 at 01:40 PM
Don't forget the 162 errors he's going to make also.
On the other hand, I wouldn't mind seeing him in a cubs uniform.
Jake Fox
Tony Thomas
Andrew Cashner
some low A guy
Too much? Not enough?
Posted by: BLEEDINGCUBBIEBLUE | November 09, 2009 at 01:50 PM

Fox
Cashner

no shot that uggla is a phillie. not worth the prospects this team strikeouts enough.
Posted by: derman1984 | November 09, 2009 at 02:04 PM
Strikeouts aren't bad when you're tacking it on the type of offensive production Uggla has.
I'm interested in seeing what teams are willing to give up for a 3 WAR second baseman with that kind of defense. A move to third might be good; if he's half as bad a third baseman as he was at second, he's be an easy 3.5 wins for $7M.

The Cubs shouldn't trade 2 of those prospects let alone all 4. The Marlins are in dump mode. Hermida for 2 mid to low end prospects. Uggla would be much more expensive (almost 20% of their payroll. he has to go...
Posted by: Lilkenny | November 09, 2009 at 02:35 PM
While Cashner is a good start, trash like Thomas and Atkins won't get a deal done. Besides, it doesn't make sense for Hendry to commit much of his payroll flexibility and serious prospects for a guy who probably won't put the Cubs over the top, especially with several other holes to fill.
Posted by: FlipNside | November 09, 2009 at 02:36 PM
I really think the Braves should go after Uggla. No matter where he plays (if he plays 2B then Prado can play 1B or RF or UTL) we NEED his 30HR and .350 OBP bat from the right side.
The one spot that the Braves still have expendable talent is young starting pitching. I'm talking about Reyes, Rohrbough, Spruil, Hoover, Ortango, D. Delgado etc.
When you have a 30HR bat from a non-offensive position so clearly available you really can't pass it up.
Posted by: bbxxj | November 09, 2009 at 02:52 PM
The Braves need to get Uggla to play 3B and stick Chipper at first. Give him a break already. It will probably add a few seasons to his career.
Posted by: WindyCityWarrioe | November 09, 2009 at 03:53 PM
I would like to see the Pirates go after him even though they just signed Iwmura. They have enough payroll to take his contract with a raise. What about Duke or Maholm and a prospect for him.
