Marlins Looking to Ship Zambrano?

The Miami Marlins have been rumored to be shopping newly-acquired RHP Carlos Zambrano, tweets Marlins beat writer Juan C. Rodriguez. On January 4th the Cubs sent Big Z to Miami in exchange for former top prospect RHP Chris Volstad. After a rough performance in spring training and just a 76 OVR rating the Marlins do not seem interested in keeping Zambrano and his massive $14 million contract on the roster. Stay tuned for updates as the situation develops.

Marlins Deal Zambrano to Royals for CF Jason Bourgeois



Carlos Zambrano never threw a single regular season pitch in a Miami Marlins uniform. The veteran starter, who was acquired in the offseason in a trade with the Chicago Cubs, was traded to the Kansas City Royals in exchange for speedy CF Jason Bourgeois. In the final week of spring training the Royals presented the Marlins with this trade offer and Miami was glad to part with Zambrano's $14 million price tag. Bourgeois, a 30 year old major league veteran with blazing speed, is expected to make the Marlins Opening Day roster as a reserve outfielder. Zambrano is likely to begin the regular season in the back of the Royals rotation.

Marlins Ink Roy Oswalt to 1-Year Deal



The Miami Marlins have made yet another splash in the free agent market, agreeing to terms with veteran RHP Roy Oswalt on a 1-year, $6.15 million deal. The day after dealing underperforming pitcher Carlos Zambrano to the Royals the Marlins felt a need to upgrade their already solid pitching rotation. Oswalt, who spent last season with the Philadelphia Phillies projects to pitch 3rd in Miami's rotation behind Josh Johnson and newly-signed LHP Mark Buehrle. The Marlins now feel they have a top notch starting rotation that can threaten their division-rival Phillies.
