Marlins Prefer To Add A Catcher
MLB.com's Joe Frisaro says that moreso than signing Andruw Jones, the Marlins would like to add a veteran catcher to pair with John Baker. Ivan Rodriguez makes sense, but Frisaro says the Fish would probably only offer him the league minimum. Pudge wants $3MM, says Ken Rosenthal.
The Marlins had late-December interest in Gregg Zaun, but $2MM was out of their price range. Frisaro says they've been exploring trading for Rangers backstop Max Ramirez (the price would certainly be young pitching).

How does Max Ramirez qualify as an experienced catcher?

"$2MM was out of their price range."
I guess that lets Varitek out.

We don't need another catcher. Maybe a backup for Baker, but not a starter. I really like Baker, and think he is perfect for the number 2 spot. He doesn't k that much and he makes good contact. We should have kept Treanor.
