Dontrelle Willis expects to return to the Marlins rotation next year, the pitcher's agent said Sunday after talking to the team's front office. Matt Sosnick, Willis' agent, said he spoke to baseball operations president Larry Beinfest on Saturday and came away from the conversation believing the Marlins won't trade the left-hander this winter. Sosnick said he ran into Beinfest at a supermarket and asked when they could discuss a contract for Willis, who is entering his third year of arbitration. In Willis' past two years of arbitrations, both sides have had preliminary talks in late November. "He said, 'We plan on Dontrelle being here, so we'll plan on doing it the normal time,' " Sosnick said Sunday during a charity bowling tournament hosted by Willis.
