The Marlins added Paul Lo Duca to the 25-man roster.
Minutes after their heart-breaking 6-5 loss to the Cubs on Friday night, the Marlins added another bat to their lineup by promoting catcher Paul Lo Duca from Triple-A Albuquerque.
Lo Duca will be with the Marlins on Saturday. In exchange, they designated reliever Justin Miller for assignment. Miller will have 10 days to accept the assignment or go on waivers.
---.
Marlins manager Fredi Gonzalez said he'll come in as the No. 3 catcher and be an extra bat off the bench.
Huh.

I assume he won't be around next year
Poor first half of the season + in line for over a million in arbitration + better and/or cheaper options
Frankly, I’m not sure how many in the bullpen that’s in line for around a million will be retained out of J. Miller, Pinto, Kensing, Nelson and Waechter. I guess Pinto is the most likely.
Since the Fish are still in the thick of the division race, I suppose I shouldn’t let my mind ponder too much about off season moves.

I think Nelson stays.
They keep saying on broadcasts how he has a closer’s stuff. I believe Gregg makes over $2 million, so if his contract is up, they’ll let him go. Pinto stays by virtue of being a lefty, and these days, that’s about all I can say for him. I don’t know if they’ll keep Waechter, but he’s very useful, so I hope they do.
