Player Notes
January 21, 2010
Dan Uggla will almost certainly be the Marlins' starting second baseman in 2010, according to the Miami Herald. The word came straight from team president David Samson's mouth on his weekly radio show.

Our View:After the league and the player's union spoke out against the Marlins' ever thrifty ways earlier this month, they no longer appear likely to deal him. It's not inconceivable that he could still be moved in the right deal, but consider it highly unlikely after it looked likely for so much of this offseason.
January 18, 2010
Dan Uggla and the Marlins avoided arbitration on Monday by agreeing to a one-year, $7.8 million deal, according to the Palm Beach Post.

Our View:The Marlins are still very open to trading the second baseman, something that this deal will not stop from potentially happening. While he does have a few holes in his game, he's still one of the most powerful second basemen the MLB has to offer.
January 12, 2010
According to the Miami Herald, the Marlins may have extra incentive to keep Dan Uggla around next season now that MLB is making the club raise payroll.

Our View:The Marlins got an earful from MLB and the players union for not spending enough of their revenue sharing dollars on player salaries, so the team is expected to raise the payroll from $40 to $50 million. That extra cabbage would cover the $7 million that Uggla would receive in arbitration and allow him to stay with the club for one more season. They Marlins could also appease Josh Johnson with the extra cash, as he's been seeking a four-year contract extension. Stay tuned.
January 5, 2010
According to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Dan Uggla may begin the 2010 season with the Marlins despite multiple trade rumors this offseason.

Our View:The Marlins have been actively shopping Uggla for some time, but they have been unable to move him. He will command quite a bit of scratch in arbitration and the Marlins want a payroll of around $40 million, so they may be forced to move someone else instead. Jorge Cantu could be an option.
December 27, 2009
With San Francisco reluctant to part with pitcher Jonathan Sanchez, the Giants don't seem likely to acquire Florida second baseman Dan Uggla for the time being, according to the Miami Herald.

Our View:If talks with the Giants completely die, Baltimore, Texas and Atlanta could all be bidders for Uggla's services. Stay tuned.
