• Juan Carlos Oviedo still stuck in D.R., will not report tomorrow

  Number of comments: 1
  

        Finally. Only one day remains before Marlins pitchers and catchers report to spring training in Jupiter. The Marlins, White Sox and Rangers are the last teams to get things going. The report date sounds much more significant than it actually is, as players are required to do nothing more than [...]

         Combine a rare visit by the New York Yankees with the allure of a new ballpark and it all adds up to this: the Marlins have sold out their April 1 exhibition game against the Bronx Bombers. It took under four hours on Saturday to sell out what tickets remained to the contest.

         As [...]

• Hanley cold shoulders reporters

  Number of comments: 13
  

      So much for trying to find out what's happening inside Hanley Ramirez's head and how he feels about moving to third base. Mum was the word from the Marlins' former shortstop, who brushed aside our repeated attempts to ask him about his surgicially repaired left shoulder and his thoughts on moving to third.

      "I'" [...]

• Did Marlins and Logan Morrison disrespect memory of Carl Barger?

  Number of comments: 32
  

         Who's more important? Joe DiMaggio or George Brett? Because that's what it comes down to in the retiring and unretiring by the Marlins of No. 5, a uniform number they have allowed no player to wear until now.

         The Marlins retired the number to honor Carl Barger, their first president, who [...]

• Marlins not stunned by Cespedes decision

  Number of comments: 23
  

       Nothing about the Marlins is mundane anymore, and today's annual media luncheon in Coconut Grove -- a somewhat ho-hum event in previous years -- was more evidence of that. It was during the middle of the luncheon that news broke of Yoenis Cespedes' decision to sign with Oakland.

       "Is it (true)?" responded Marlins president of' [...]

  Number of comments: 29
  

       No member of the Florida Marlins has ever worn No. 5. That number was retired by the organization following the death of Carl Barger, the franchise's first president. The Marlins chose to retire "5" because it was worn by Barger's favorite player, Joe DiMaggio.

       But the Miami Marlins [...]

• Yelich is only Marlin in Keith Law's Top 100 Prospects

  Number of comments: 4
  

       Outfielder Christian Yelich is the only member of the Marlins' organization to crack Keith Law's Top 100 Prospects list, not a surprise given the low opinion of the team's minor league system these past few years by virtually every expert out there.

       Yelich checks in at No. 48 overall on Law's rankings, [...]

• Bonifacio prevails as Marlins lose again in arb

  Number of comments: 3
  

        Chalk up another victory for a Marlins player in a salary arbitration case against the team. Emilio Bonifacio became the latest winner on Wednesday when arbitrators awarded him his asking price of $2.2 million for the 2012 season. The Marlins felt the do-it-all speedster deserved $1.95 million.

        Since 2003, the Marlins [...]
