According to FanRag’s Jon Heyman, it doesn’t look the Marlins are getting ready to trade Dan Straily today.
teams say marlins want to be "overwhelmed" for dan straily. trade remains less than likely.

Joe Frisaro of MLB.com is hearing the same thing.
Hearing pretty much what @JonHeyman is hearing. Straily asking price high. No urgency to move. Subject to change. @Marlins #TradeDeadline

MLB Network’s Jon Morosi is hearing that they are still talking Straily with other teams, but that does not confirm that there is any traction.

The Brewers, Rockies, Royals and Yankees have all shown interest in Straily in the past week. However, the Yankees just picked Jaime Garcia and are pursuing Sonny Gray, which means they are most likely not in play.
All indications are this is a buyer’s market and the Marlins are only dipping their feet into the water to see what is out there. Unless they are overwhelmed, they will keep Straily.
Straily is arbitration eligible for the first time this winter and will not be due to hit the free agent market until after the 2020 season.
