Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports that the Marlins will explore a multi-year deal for Ricky Nolasco if he has a strong season in 2010.
Nolasco is represented by Matt Sosnick, who just negotiated a new four-year deal for Josh Johnson, if that means anything. Nolasco, 27, experienced an up-and-down season in '09, finishing 13-9 with a 5.09 ERA, but his peripherals were still top-notch. The Marlins and Nolasco recently avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $3.8 million contract. |
