http://www.yardbarker.com/rss/player/640 Recent articles about Dan Uggla en-us The Marlins are looking to cut payroll and two players who may become available are Dan Uggla and Jorge Cantu.Cantu is a 27 y/o power hitting right hander who plays 1B/3B and early in his career also spent time at 2B. In 2005 with the Rays as there full time 2B Cantu hit 28 homeruns with a 117 RBIs and a .286 BA. It was rumored that year that Omar was very interested in Cantu, but in 2006 when he hit just .249 with 14 HRs the Rays couldn't give him away. In 2007 he bounced between Toronto...

The Marlins, who haven't had serious trade talks yet on Dan Uggla and Jeremy Hermida, are preparing a multiyear offer for Josh Johnson.     One, I think the team will unload Hermida.  Two, while I would like to see Uggla back, I don't think it is going to happen.  Three, Johnson isn't going to come cheap and the organization is known for the cheapness.  It will be...

Looks as if the Marlins are leaning toward keeping Chris Coghlan in left field rather than moving him back to his original position at second base. But that doesn't necessarily mean that Dan Uggla gets to stick around. Our best guess is that the Marlins can only afford to keep one player from their arbitration-eligible trio of Uggla,...

With his 30th home run Tuesday, Uggla became the first player in major league history to hit at least 30 home runs in three consecutive seasons while playing at least 100 games at second base.Uggla, Ryne Sandberg, Alfonso Soriano and Chase Utley were the only players to accomplish the f...

He is the second Marlin to record three seasons with 30 or more homers, having hit 31 in 2007 and 32 last year. Ex-Marlin Miguel Cabrera is the other.

Coghlan will have much more value at 2b than he does at 3b or OF in 2010. www.baseballprospectus.com Mon, 07 Sep 2009 10:28:29 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/mlb/article_external/John_Perrotto_On_the_Beat_Sunday_EditionThe_Marlins_plan_to_trade_second_baseman_Dan_Uggla_as/1127469 http://www.yardbarker.com/mlb/article_external/John_Perrotto_On_the_Beat_Sunday_EditionThe_Marlins_plan_to_trade_second_baseman_Dan_Uggla_as/1127469 http://www.yardbarker.com/mlb/article_external/John_Perrotto_On_the_Beat_Sunday_EditionThe_Marlins_plan_to_trade_second_baseman_Dan_Uggla_as/1127469 http://www.yardbarker.com/media/3/c/3c928fb44241fa2e275bb0a607f55eca5a3c7f14/small/AstrosMarlins_59d0.jpg No real signs of jealousy here...right?"With the new stadium, we kind of figured they're going to make an effort to lock a few guys up," Uggla said.

Crazy as it sounds, Dan Uggla thinks/thought so:Uggla accused Ramirez of a lack of desire and effort to win. He also said Ramirez wasn't caring because he's already secured a $70 million, six-year contract.The funniest part about all of this to me is that Ramirez is earning $5.5 million this season and that Uggla is earning $5.35 million. In baseball terms, that amount is negligible.But I understand how j...
