Marlins’ Floyd expects trade

? Florida outfielder Cliff Floyd expects to be traded by the All-Star break, but the Marlins haven’t given him any indication when or if it will happen.

“I guess this junk will be over by the time the All-Star break is over,” Floyd said Saturday. “Everybody knows I have no control over it, but it cannot become a distraction. It cannot become something that’s going to have my teammates look at me in a different way.

“It’s all me-me-me and where I’m going. That’s why I wish (the Marlins) would just make the move or come out and say I’m not getting traded. They’re keeping everybody in the dark.”

Floyd said last weel the Montreal Expos were one of the six teams listed in a no-trade clause in his contract, but corrected himself Saturday, realizing he had removed the Expos from the list last winter.

He replaced the Expos with the San Francisco Giants because he feared the Giants might seek him as a replacement for free agent Barry Bonds.

And he didn’t want to deal with the pressure of trying to replace Bonds.

Floyd, a 2001 All-Star making $6.5 million this season, also can block a trade to the Oakland Athletics, Chicago White Sox, Minnesota Twins, Tampa Bay Devil Rays and Texas Rangers.
