On Tuesday, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reported that the Miami Marlins have “kept in touch” with 2x All-Star and former World Series champion Johnny Cueto. Both Morosi and SportsGrid’s Craig Mish note that the Marlins currently have a full starting rotation. Cueto would only be a target for them is one of their established starters is traded.
At this point in the offseason, the Marlins still are yet to sign any free agents to a guaranteed MLB deal. Cueto signed a minor league deal with the Chicago White Sox last winter, but will command more money this time around after making interesting adjustments to extend his days as a starting pitcher.
