Florida Marlins taking a wait-and-see approach to Trade Deadline
By
Last week, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com said the 10-game homestand of the Florida Marlins could determine whether the Marlins will be buyers or sellers by July 31. That 10-game homestand is coming to an end this Sunday, and Frisaro now says the team does not view Sunday as the day to determine whether the team is a buyer or seller.
The team is now at .500 for the first time since June 4, and the Marlins are thinking they may be able to make a run.
Frisaro says the team may make a couple of trades:
Jorge Cantu has drawn interest from the Giants, Rockies and Rangers. Cody Ross has a handful of teams — like the Red Sox, Reds, Dodgers and Braves — who are interested. Don’t expect the Marlins to deal with Atlanta.
Several teams have inquired about Leo Nunez, including the Giants, Red Sox and Tigers. Recently, the Marlins told clubs that Nunez isn’t available, at least at this point. If they, however, fall out of the race, by July 31, that may change.
Dan Uggla is not being shopped, and Ricky Nolasco also won’t likely be dealt. The Marlins are also entertaining signing Nolasco to a multi-year contract.
