Speculation: Marlins NOT Interested in Brandon Inge

[MiamiHomer]

MIAMI — The Marlins have made it clear that they are seeking veteran experience at third base.

A player the club is looking at is Brandon Inge of the Tigers. Now that Detroit has acquired Wilson Betemit, Inge has become expendable. While Inge is having a down year, hitting .177 with one homer and 17 RBIs, he has been with the Tigers since 2001.
He has started 63 games at third base for the Tigers this year, and appeared in 69 games total at the position.

The 31-year-old is making $5.5 million this year. He also is under contract for $5.5 million in 2012 and has a club option for 2013 at $6 million, with a $500,000 buyout.

The Tigers are seeking pitching help, and closer Leo Nunez is drawing interest from a number of teams.

The source also said Brandon Inge to the Marlins wasn’t likely. A Marlins official told him they were unsure how that rumor got started and there was nothing to it. The Tigers designated the struggling Inge for assignment and ultimately he accepted an a job in Triple-A. Inge still is owed the remainder of his $5.5 million 2011 salary, $5.5 million in 2012 and a $500,000 buyout of a $6 million 2013 option.

you want me to lighten up? I'm as lit as you can get

we're trying to have a Marlins discussion here and even though he's based on a shite player, it's still discussion

you throwing in a "who cares" gauntlet does nothing for discussion and if anything shows that you should probably lighten up... I'm sorry you lost money on them the last few days
