ESPN's Buster Olney writes that the Marlins and Diamondbacks are top possible landing spots for free agent third baseman Ian Stewart. It's not clear if he's speculating on landing spots or whether the clubs have legitimate interest. Stewart was given his release by the Cubs this week after he completed a suspension for making some controversial comments about the team on Twitter. The 28-year-old was batting just .168/.286/.372 in 40 games with Triple-A Iowa prior to his release, so he'll have to earn his way back to the majors.
