Marlins Reportedly Express Interest in Michael Young Trade

Filed under: Marlins, Rangers, MLB Rumors, MLB Hot Stove

Trade talks with the Rockies about Michael Young went nowhere, but the Rangers might have more success with their 1993 expansion brethren.

The Marlins are reportedly interested in trading for Young to be their third baseman this season. Right now their best option is Matt Dominguez, a well-regarded prospect who has never played above Double-A. According to Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com, however, there are several significant stumbling blocks that would have to be overcome to make such a deal come to fruition. He quotes a source that says it is a "real reach" to think a deal can get done.

The first is that Young did not include the Marlins on the list of eight teams that got automatic waivers of his no-trade rights. That doesn't mean something couldn't be worked out, especially with the relationship between Texas and Young getting worse and worse as more time passes by.
