David Quinones of the Miami Herald talked to free agent catcher Ivan Rodriguez, who said, "We have something going on with the Marlins, but I’m not too sure where we are right now." Based on his home in Miami and World Series season with the team, Rodriguez would like to play again for the Marlins. MLB.com’s Joe Frisaro seems to like the Marlins’ chances. He says the holdup is playing time rather than money, though.
Pudge added that two or three other teams are in the mix. SI.com’s Jon Heyman believes the Astros are still in, and Jim Baumbach of Newsday reported that the Mets are scouting him.
