Nope, it's not that deal ... but the Marlins have made a deal for a bullpen guy, trading for Arthur Rhodes out of Seattle for pitching prospect Gaby Hernandez. It's a deal that has been in the works, and probably is a signal that Brian Fuentes, a one-time Marlin target, is off the market for good which would make the Colorado Rockies buyers ... or at least non-sellers. For Rhodes, it's a chance to pitch in a pennant race for the first time since '05, as he'll join a Marlin team just a game and a half out of first. Rhodes has had a decent season with a 2.36 ERA ... but has walked 13 batters in 22 innings this season during outings rarely extending past an out or two. For the Marlins though, it's something. Maybe 4:00 ET will bring the fish something a little bigger.
(Or not, as reports now have that Manny Ramirez deal "close to dead".)
