Brian Bixler

Marlins Release Dallas McPherson

By Tim Dierkes | March 31, 2009 at 10:39pm CDT

10:39pm: Frisaro says the Marlins released McPherson, as they were unable to find a trade.

10:36am: Joe Frisaro of MLB.com has the latest on the Marlins.

  • Out of options Marlins shortstop Robert Andino remains on the Pirates' radar; the interest dates back to at least the Winter Meetings.  Frisaro wonders if the idea of an Andino-Brian Bixler swap could be reignited.  However, with Andino being out of options and Bixler raising his profile during Spring Training, that seems unlikely.  My own speculation – the San Diego would be a good destination for Andino.
  • Frisaro says the Marlins appear to be shopping third baseman Dallas McPherson, who is also out of options.  McPherson, 28, hit .275/.379/.618 with 42 home runs in 448 at-bats last year at Triple A.  Projection systems remain unimpressed, but I'd like to see what he could do in Minute Maid Park.
  • The Marlins are eyeing lefty relief help, with Frisaro naming Pittsburgh's Sean Burnett and free agent Ron Villone as possibilities.

According to MLB.com’s Joe Frisaro, the Marlins continue to discuss trading Andino.  He says the Pirates remain the most viable match, even with Jack Wilson seemingly staying put.

Pirates Discussing Trade For Robert Andino

By Tim Dierkes | December 10, 2008 at 6:52pm CDT

6:52pm: Frisaro says Pirates shortstop Brian Bixler is a name that has surfaced as a possible return for Andino.

6:20pm: Kovacevic says this trade "looks as if it might not advance past the talking stage."

11:51am: Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald notes that Andino is out of options and Marlins manager Fredi Gonzalez has publicly admired Paulino.

11:33am: Related note from MLB.com’s Joe Frisaro:

There has been talks at the Winter Meetings about Florida showing interest in catcher Ronny Paulino. But according to a National League source, there didn’t seem to be any discussions about sending the catcher to the Marlins.

11:08am: According to Dejan Kovacevic of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the Pirates are discussing a trade with the Marlins for shortstop Robert Andino.  It’s not known who else is being discussed, but Kovacevic notes the Marlins’ earlier interest in catcher Ronny Paulino.

Andino, 24 in April, has a .549 OPS in his brief Major League career.  He did show a little potential in his second stint at Triple A though. Baseball America wrote in their 2007 Handbook that Andino plays "exemplary defense."
