June 27, 201313 yr Only Moran news: The Marlins are in discussions with their first-round pick, University of North Carolina third baseman Colin Moran, and hope to have a deal worked out "sooner rather than later," according to a source with knowledge of negotiations. The source said the Marlins are confident they can get a deal done before the July 12 deadline with Moran, the sixth overall pick in the June 6 draft. The Marlins are aggressively trying to sign Moran. Contract talks began after North Carolina was eliminated from the College World Series a few days ago.

July 4, 201313 yr Update on Moran and co: http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/blog/jon-heyman/22625022/marlins-hopeful-on-no-1-pick-moran-while-nos-2--3-may-get-away- TEASER: The Marlins are said to be making progress on a possible deal with the No. 6 overall pick from last month's draft, University of North Carolina third baseman Colin Moran. And that's a very good thing, because their next two draft picks -- left-handed prep pitcher Matt Krook and Orlando prep shortstop Ben Deluzio -- may well both be choosing college over the Marlins.
