Miami Marlins closer Steve Cishek is enjoying a fine season at the back end of the bullpen, and as the deadline nears he is reportedly being mentioned more frequently on the trade market, according to Jon Heyman.

The Marlins continue to slip down their division standings - they are 8 1/2 games back at 45-52 - opening the door to them being ready to sell off some superfluous talent. 

Cishek holds a 3.66 ERA, and 46 strikeouts in 39 1/3 innings. He's converted 21 of 25 save opportunities.
