Now that Giancarlo Stanton is off their plate, the Marlins are engaged in trade talks for some of their other players, with outfielder Marcell Ozuna drawing the most interest.
At least six to eight teams have expressed interest in Ozuna.
Sources said that the Cardinals, Nationals, Rangers, Blue Jays and Rockies have spoken to the Marlins about Ozuna, and the A’s are also engaged, according to a published report.
Ozuna, who will become eligible for free agency after the 2019 season, is projected to make about $11 million next year through salary arbitration. Trading Ozuna would likely net the Marlins an attractive return of prospects while helping them move closer to their reported payroll target of about $90 million.
