The Marlins have one of the biggest messes on their hands in the Major Leagues. Two batting champions in the infield, speed, Bell the closer, and they just lose lose lose. The closer is the biggest problem over there, why would we want him ?

ST. LOUIS -- The Dodgers will announce on Wednesday the acquisition of infielder Hanley Ramirez and left-handed reliever Randy Choate from the Miami Marlins for starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi and Minor League pitcher Scott McGough, according to a baseball source.

 

The move -- with the Dodgers picking up nearly $40 million in contract obligations -- initially addresses the club's critical need for more offense, although it also heightens the search for a starting pitcher like Ryan Dempster.
