Jorge Cantu - 1B - Florida Marlins
Nov. 23, 2009 - 12:45 PM ET
MLB.com has learned that it is almost "100 percent" certain that Jorge Cantu will not be traded.
The Marlins are willing to listen to offers for possible non-tender candidates, but they reportedly seem comfortable with the roughly $5 million Cantu will make next season. Cantu, 27, batted .289/.345/.443 with 16 home runs and 100 RBI in 2009. If he stays in Florida, Cantu will either play first base or third base. Prospects Logan Morrison and Gaby Sanchez are expected to compete for the first base job during spring training.
