Martin Prado - 3B - Marlins

Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports that the Marlins "want to keep" impending free agent Martin Prado and "a two-year deal is a growing possibility."

It's unclear at this point if the two sides have had formal contract extension negotiations, but it appears there's a mutual interest in keeping Prado in Miami. Prado will turn 33 next month, but he's had an excellent season with a .309/.361/.418 batting line and seven homers. If they can retain him on a two-year deal it could certainly be worth exploring.

Martin Prado had a nice night at the dish in Saturday's loss to the Padres, going 4-for-4 with a double.

The Marlins were shut out in the ballgame, only mustering nine total hits as a team, so Prado was certainly the driving force of the offense. He's quietly having a very nice season for the Marlins, slashing .323/.376/.436 with seven homers and 61 RBI.

Martin Prado went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored in Thursday's loss to the Reds.

Prado had a two-run single in the seventh inning to pull the Marlins to within a run, but it wasn't enough in the end. Still, it was a good night for the 32-year-old, who now has four multi-hit games in his last six contests. It's no surprise, then, that Prado and his .327 average rank third in the National League in hitting. He's also sporting a .380 on-base percentage and .446 slugging percentage through 115 games.

The 32-year-old is having another good offensive year and has settled in near the top of the Marlins lineup, batting .322/.375/.439 overall.

Martin Prado - 3B - Marlins

Martin Prado went 3-for-4 with a trio of singles in Sunday's loss to the Mets.

Only two other Marlins (Christian Yelich, Adeiny Hechavarria) secured hits on the afternoon. And only Prado managed a multi-hit effort. In total, the team collected five singles. It was that kind of a game for the Marlins. For his part, Prado is slashing .322/.373/.415 with 21 doubles, 35 RBI and 41 runs scored over 367 at-bats. While the veteran infielder isn't a particularly sexy fantasy option, he at least offers a very dependable average.

Martin Prado - 3B - Marlins

Martin Prado went 1-for-5 with a three-run double in Sunday's win over the Cubs.

The Marlins held a scant 3-1 advantage entering the eighth inning, but Prado provided them a killer breather when he unloaded for a bases-clearing double to bump the advantage to 6-1. That effectively ended the game. The 32-year-old third baseman is slashing .312/.359/.404 with 15 doubles, two homers and 26 RBI over 282 at-bats. Outside of a dependable average, Prado's fantasy value is limited.

Martin Prado - 3B - Marlins

Martin Prado went 3-for-3 with a two-run home run and three total RBI in Monday's win over the Padres.

The veteran third-baseman added an RBI single in the fifth to finish off his three-RBI night. He is hitting a juicy .332, but Monday's home run was just his second of the season.
