Dan Straily disabled his Twitter account about a month and a half ago.

The reason? Straily wanted to avoid the distraction of seeing his name appear in trade rumors.

“This game’s hard enough,” Straily said. “I’m interested, but I don’t need distractions messing it up.”

Straily is among a handful of Marlins whose names are frequently mentioned in speculation leading up to Tuesday’s non-waiver trade deadline. The others include relievers Brad Ziegler, Kyle Barraclough, Adam Conley and Drew Steckenrider.
