``We don't know exactly what's going to happen yet,'' Uggla said Wednesday. ``But both sides are trying to make an effort where I can stay here for another few years.'' he Marlins and Uggla are far apart on a multi-year deal, with Uggla's representatives asking for a five-year deal totaling about $58 million and the Marlins countering in the range of three years and $24 million. Uggla is making $7.8 million this season, so the Marlins likely will have to go higher. But the two sides are expected to resume talks after the season. ``Do I see it getting done anytime soon?'' Uggla said. ``No. But I do feel like there's going to be a really good effort to get something done. They are going to a new ballpark [in 2012]. Everybody knows I'd like to be here to open it up and they've expressed to me they want me here to open it up, too.'' |
After a few years of being on the trade block, Dan Uggla may now get an extension from the Marlins.
