Matt Treanor suffered a lower abdominal strain on Monday night, creating a catching need for the Marlins. Treanor is expected to go on the DL on Tuesday. Even before Treanor's injury, the Marlins were eying veteran catching help. Names to watch are David Ross (Reds), Miguel Olivo (Royals) and Yorvit Torrealba (Rockies). Nationals veteran Paul Lo Duca doesn't appear to be in the mix. His throwing arm is an issue.

Got any pitchers or middle infielders? We can trade you LaRue and promote Anderson. We'll trade Anderson if you want, it's just the article says veteran catchers.

Yorvit for a pitching prospect sounds right.

I have dully designated by the Reds to offer ANY catcher that they have on their roster in exchange for 2 stale twinkies, a licorice rope, and a slightly used super bounce ball.

I would take whatever they've got for Ross. Bako has been just as good as him. The Marlins definitely have the prospects to trade.

Agreed. I included "all" mostly because Bako is what, 37 or something? Never understood why the Reds keep 3 catchers on their roster anyways...Valentine and Ross can't throw out a runner to save their lives...

Dagwood, Ross was one of the best defensive catchers in the game last year. I agree though that Valentin's a terrible defensive catcher. In relation to the story though, I really hope the Reds trade Ross for a prospect, as this season is lost anyway, and we need to build for the future.
