Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports (via Twitter) that the Marlins are not talking about trading Hanley Ramirez. No surprise here, but it's nice to have it confirmed.
Sullivan says the teams had "absolutely no discussions" about Marlins second baseman Dan Uggla. On November 19th, ESPN's Jayson Stark had written that talks with the Giants and Rangers for Uggla had gotten hot and heavy at the GM Meetings.
If Nick Johnson and Kiko Calero sign elsewhere in free agency, it doesn't look like the Marlins will receive draft pick compensation in return. The Marlins are leaning against offering arbitration to both Type B free agents. Tuesday is the deadline to extend arbitration to qualifying free agents.
And we've never offered arbitration. Who was the last one? I want to say in the 2005 draft we had one or two, but I can't remember who it was that got them for us.
I bet it's just not the Marlins. With the way the FA market was last year, they might take it.
Kiko for 2 mil is a good deal. You hope he takes it.
NJ probably makes more in the FA market, and probably gets two years (at least he gets an option). Whats worse thing that happens if he takes it, we trade the right to him for nothing? He's barely played in 50% of the possible games the past two years, he's not going to make much in arbitration
I can see being concerned when offering Nick Johnson arbitration but if Kiko is expected to make 2 million in arbitration I can't see not offering him arbitration.
