In a possible deal with the Angels, the Marlins are reportedly said to be asking for second baseman Howie Kendrick to be part of the package.
With Cabrera's salary escalating, it is almost a certainty that he will be dealt either before or at the Winter Meetings in early December.
Traditionally, the Marlins seek pitching back in any trades they make. As painful as it is to part with Cabrera's bat, he is the team's most valuable asset to lure in top-flight, affordable, young pitching.
So while the Marlins would like to secure a catcher and center fielder, Cabrera is being used to bring in strong pitching.
With trading Cabrera now appearing to be a certainty, the Marlins will have to decide whether to keep shortstop Hanley Ramirez in the leadoff spot or potentially drop him to third in the order.
Should the Marlins acquire Kendrick, that could mean a position switch for Dan Uggla, an All-Star second baseman in 2006 who could be asked to switch to third base. It's also believed that Florida also will seek Angels infielder Maicer Izturis as part of a trade package.
i dunno about all that shit thoe..Macier is straight clutch!..hes an all around player!...he may not have power like Cabrera,but he's got game and can be used in more situations then Cabrera can!....wut ya'll think?!
