After breaking off extension talks and gauging interest in their second
baseman, the Marlins now plan to trade Dan Uggla,
Rosenthal identifies the Nationals, Tigers, Braves,and Blue Jays as potential
suitors involved in discussions for the 30-year-old.
When Rosenthal ran down the list of teams who could have interest in Uggla, he
noted that not every club would view the Marlin as a second baseman. Many teams
with question marks at third base are considering making a play for Uggla.
Meanwhile, according to Rosenthal, the Cubs and Angels are among the teams who
don't have interest in acquiring Uggla, despite having a need for offense.
Joe Capozzi of the Palm Beach Post believes that Uggla and the Marlins could
still reach a deal, but concedes that the two sides are currently "very bitter
at each other." He expects Florida to actively shop Uggla at this week's GM
meetings, though he suggests the team will be demanding a significant return.
