Cabrera asks for $7.4M; K-Rod re-signs with LA

Marlins re-sign Olivo; Cabrera asks for $7.4 million
A day after the Florida Marlins re-signed starting pitcher Dontrelle Willis to a one-year, $6.45 million deal, they re-signed catcher Miguel Olivo to a one-year contract worth $2 million. Olivo hit .263 with 16 home runs and 53 RBI in 127 games last season.

The Marlins are also in the process of re-signing star third baseman Miguel Cabrera, who asked for $7.4 million for one year. Florida counter-offered with a one-year, $6.7 million deal. The 23-year old Cabrera made $472,000 last season. There is still a possibility that the Marlins will try and sign Cabrera to a long-term contract.
