The Marlins are 39-43 on the season which has them in fourth place in the N.L. East, 8.5 games behind the Braves. If the Marlins are buyers they will likely look to add help to the bullpen and maybe the bench. If they become sellers they will field a ton of calls as they could trade Dan Uggla, Jorge Cantu, Cody Ross, Ricky Nolasco and Brian Sanches. The Marlins could get a nice haul of prospects who would get to play in the new stadium in 2012 if they could move those guys. It will be interesting to see what kind of directive Marlins’ owner Jeff Loria gives to his GM. I have a feeling they will be selling.

Cameron Maybin looks overmatched and Chris Coghlan is looking like the pitchers have figured him out. With that in mind the Marlins should be calling the Royals about David DeJesus. I think the Royals would definitely trade DeJesus and cash to the Marlins for Renyel Pinto and Bryan Petersen. This is a trade the Marlins would have to make because they need to start getting some production out of the top of the lineup which is where DeJesus would bat (1st or 2nd). Maybin is clearly overmatched right now both at the plate and in the field as he looks like he needs more time in AAA.
