The Marlins have expressed interest in acquiring Braves catcher Evan Gattis and Orioles first baseman Chris Davis, according to the Miami Herald.

Gattis has been mentioned in trade rumors this offseason. It has also been spectulated he could move from catcher to left field.

Gattis, 28, hit .263 with 22 homers and 52 RBI last season while Davis, 28, hit .196 with 26 homers and 72 RBI. Davis was also third in the MVP race in 2013, hitting .286, 53 homers, 138 RBI.

The Marlins want some power to complementGiancarlo Stanton. Here’s some power:

Determined to upgrade over Garrett Jones at first base, the Marlins have begun exploring trades. Colleague Clark Spencer and I confirmed that the Marlins are interested in Atlanta’s Evan Gattis and Clark was told they also have inquired about Baltimore’s Chris Davis. Both Gattis and Davis are 28.

The Braves have traded with their division rivals in the past, so it’s not out of the question that they’d do it again. This is the first I recall hearing of Chris Davis possibly being available, though maybe he isn’t. It doesn’t hurt to call someone.

Both guys have big holes in their games — with Gattis it’s defense, with Davis it’s plate discipline — but if you want some bombs, and if you’re willing to give up some pitching, they could be your huckleberries.

In case you want a reminder of what Evan Gattis does in Marlins Park....
