  • Jorge Cantu Traded to Texas

  • The Marlins have traded Jorge Cantu to the Texas Rangers for AA right-handed pitchers Evan Reed and Omar Poveda. The trade was approved by MLB just minutes before the Marlins wrapped up a 5-0 win against the San Francisco Giants. The Marlins also sent cash to Texas to offset some or all of the $2MM remaining on Cantu‘s salary for this season.

    While Poveda is on the 60-day DL following Tommy John Surgery, Reed has pitched 39 innings in AA and has 34 strikeouts with 13 walks. Not clear if he is ready to move up to the Majors where the Marlins desperately need bullpen relief.

    For now, the Marlins will call up Hector Luna from AAA to backup Wes Helms and Donny Murphy. When Chris Coghlan returns from the DL, he will take over the starting 3B spot.

    July 27, 2010

  • With Chris Coghlan on the DL, Logan Morrison in the majors and Jorge Cantu on the trading block, Edwin Rodriguez is debuting a new lineup for tonight’s match up in San Francisco.

    1. Hanley Ramirez, SS
    2. Logan Morrison, LF
    3. Gaby Sanchez, 1B
    4. Dan Uggla, 2B
    5. Wes Helms, 3B
    6. Cody Ross, CF
    7. Mike Stanton, RF
    8. Ronny Paulino, C

    Not sure how long this lineup lasts and whether it makes a difference but certainly a different look for the Fish.

    • We might get disappointed sometimes, but our support will last all times! We love our team Marlins!

  • Nate Robertson DFAd; Hayes to the DL

  • After a series of bad starts, including a 10-0 loss to the Rockies on Tuesday, the Marlins designated Nate Robertson for assignment. Jorge Sosa was recalled to take his spot in the lineup. No word on who will assume the spot in the rotation. Also, Brett Hayes was put on the 15-day DL and catcher Brad Davis was selected from New Orleans.

  • Behind the Scenes at the All Star Game

  • I had the unique opportunity of spending the Monday and Tuesday of the All Star game in the National League locker room and batting cages (I stopped by the AL briefly). Photo above is a hat that Hanley Ramirez had the other All Stars autograph. Photo below is Josh Johnson sitting at one of the many merchandise tables, autographing hundreds of baseballs. Josh went through every single item (baseballs, hats, jerseys, bats, etc. and signed everything. Very few All Stars took the time to do that.
