Marlins, Omar Infante Discussing Extension

By Ben Nicholson-Smith | September 14, 2011 at 4:55pm CDT

The Marlins are discussing an extension with second baseman Omar Infante, according to MLB.com’s Joe Frisaro. The sides are discussing a multiyear deal, and though they aren’t currently close to finalizing anything, they could complete a deal before the season ends. 

Infante told Frisaro that he wants to return to Miami in 2012. The 29-year-old native of Venezuela has a .279/.321/.376 line with five homers in 574 plate appearances in his first season with the Marlins. Infante, who joined the team in last November's Dan Uggla trade, earns $2.5MM this year.

Infante will hit free agency after the season if he doesn't sign a deal with the Marlins. He projects as a Type B free agent, which means the Marlins could obtain a draft pick in 2012 if Infante turns down an offer of arbitration to sign elsewhere. Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reported this weekend that the Marlins want to bring Infante back in 2012 and will offer him a contract.

    I’m not sure a sub .700 OPS at 2B warrants an extension, but we’ll have to see the price. He’s valuable as a 3-4 million utility guy/occasional starter.

      in fairness to omar, he knows that if he hits any better they might send him to AAA

      He’s been much better since the All-star break. .337/.379/.515 and not to mention he’s been solid defensively.

        debatable. UZR likes him, but DRS and +/- both have him well below average at 2B this year and for his career
