"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Miami Marlins closer Steve Cishek could be on the trading block as the team's playoff chances are starting to slip away, reports CBS Sports' Jon Heyman.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Marlins enter the week with a 45-52 record and are 8.5 games back of the Washington Nationals in the NL East. They have lost seven of their last 10 games.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cishek is having a good season, with a 4-5 record, 3.57 ERA and 21 saves in 24 opportunities.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;More from CBS Sports:\r\n\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With Huston Street off the market after being traded to the Angels, and Jonathan Papelbon's contract fairly unpalatable, Cishek may be considered the top current closer on the market -- barring Boston more seriously considering a deal for superstar closer Koji Uehara.\r\n\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MORE MLB COVERAGE:&amp;nbsp;10 bold predictions for the rest of the MLB season | &amp;nbsp;Marlins' second-half preview&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;General manager Dan Jennings said the team will not be trading All-Star outfielder Giancarlo Stanton or third baseman Casey McGehee.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Scooby Axson&lt;/em&gt;\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
