Marlins rumors: Miami shopping Gorkys Hernandez

The Miami Marlins have informed outfielder Gorkys Hernandez that he will not make the team's Opening Day roster, according to Joe Frisaro of MLB.com. As a result, the Marlins will explore potential trade options for Hernandez.

If the Marlins are unable to find a suitor for Hernandez, Frisaro notes that he will be outrighted to the minors. If he clears waivers, he would be eligible to be sent to Triple-A, but he could also be picked up by another team.

MARLINS GONNA MARLIN

Jeffrey Loria: poopin' all over fan feelings.

Hernandez made his major league debut with the Pittsburgh Pirates last season. After collecting two hits over 26 plate appearances with the Bucs, the 25-year-old was traded to the Marlins in exchange for Kyle Kaminska and Gaby Sanchez. Hernandez went on to hit .212/.288/.341 with eight extra-base hits and five stolen bases in seven attempts over 147 plate appearances with the Marlins.

Hernandez has hit .282/.370/.308 so far this spring for Miami. The former top prospect owns a career batting line of .281/.343/.377 over parts of seven seasons in the minors.
