The Marlins have spoken to the Texas Rangers about catcher Max Ramirez but are also content to stick with their current group of catchers if they can't work out a trade. The Rangers are stockpiled with catchers and are searching for young pitching, something the Marlins are able and willing to offer. The Marlins are trying to trade left-hander Scott Olsen. Ramirez, 24, is coveted for his bat. He has hit .312 over his minor-league career with 64 home runs. At Double A Frisco (Texas) last season, he hit .354 with 17 home runs in only 243 at bats, But the reviews on his defense are not good. He began his career in the Braves' system as a third baseman and was used at first base part of last season.

Jon Daniels better pulled the trigger before we lose like we did on the Josh Beckett deal.
