Per Marlins beat writer Clark Spencer, the Marlins are “getting closer” to trading infielder Jorge Cantu to the Texas Rangers.
Spencer doesn’t list any names from Texas that would be headed to Florida, but last night it was reported by Chris Cox that Frisco Roughrider Evan Reed was of interest to the Marlins.
Bob Nightengale of USA Today is reporting that the Marlins are willing to pay "most, if not all" of Jorge Cantu's 2010 salary.
