The Florida Marlins only have three free agents heading into the winter. Here is how I think they will handle dealing with these guys:

Will Ohman: 33-year old lefty reliever Will Ohman pitched in 17 games (0 starts) for the Marlins after coming over in a deal with the Orioles and he was 0-2 with a 3.00 ERA and a 1.25 WHIP. Ohman pitched in 68 games (0 starts) for the O’s & Marlins in which he was 0-2 with a 3.21 ERA and a 1.50 WHIP. VERDICT: The Marlins should try to re-sign Ohman as long as they don’t get into a bidding war for him.

Chad Tracy: 30-year old lefty swinging 1B/3B Chad Tracy played in 41 games for the Marlins last season and he was 25 of 102 (.245 avg, .630 OPS) with 5 runs scored, 1 homer and 10 RBIs. Tracy played in 69 games combined with the Cubs & Marlins last season and he was 36 of 146 (.247 avg, .628 OPS) with 11 runs scored, 1 homer and 15 RBIs. VERDICT: The only way I see the Marlins bringing Tracy back is on a minor league deal.

Jorge Sosa: 33-year old righty reliever Jorge Sosa pitched in 22 games (2 starts) for the Marlins last season and he was 2-3 with a 4.66 ERA and a 1.55 WHIP. VERDICT: The Marlins let him walk.

The Florida Marlins lose Ryan Tucker on waivers to the Rangers

The Marlins have lost 23-year old righty starter/reliever Ryan Tucker on waivers to the Texas Rangers. Tucker pitched in 32 games (8 starts) in three levels in the minors this year and he was 2-8 with 6 saves, a 5.72 ERA and a 1.80 WHIP. He pitched with the Marlins in 2008 and it didn’t go too well. Tucker pitched in 13 games (6 starts) for the Marlins in 2008 and he was 2-3 with a 8.27 ERA and a 1.87 WHIP. The Marlins may have given up on Tucker a tad too early as he is still only 23 years old.
