What happened: The Athletic reported Miami is open to offers for two middle infielders, a catcher-designated hitter and an outfielder. The club is seeking more than expiring contracts in any return.

Why it matters: Their contract control gives Miami leverage to wait for offers that fit a longer roster timeline. Any deal would reshape a roster and farm system upgraded over recent seasons.

What to watch: Watch whether interest turns into substantive talks before the MLB trade deadline.
