The Marlins do not have to commit themselves to either Dee Gordon or Marcell Ozuna, nor do they have to make a move away from them this season.
The Miami Marlins' final part of the 2016 Offseason Plan is one that only has to be explored, if not necessarily completed to perfection. The Marlins should trade A.J. Ramos, Martin Prado, and Mike Dunn for value, and they should sign a few value starting pitchers to help out in the 2016 and 2017 seasons. However, the last part of the plan (they already committed the step of releasing one starter earning arbitration) is to look into the possibility of trade options for two important 2016 names: Dee Gordon and Marcell Ozuna
The Case for Trading
Both players have obvious trade cases, should the Marlins come down to that decision.
