PrintThe plan, eventually, is to convert Chris Coghlan to third base. But that's not going to happen for a while, especially considering the recent pie-in-the-face-tear-in-the-miniscus incident that landed Cogz on the DL, and could very well have ended his season.
In the meantime, the Marlins are in need of a little help at the hot corner. They acquired that help today in the form of free agent Chad Tracy.
Chad Tracy, 30, was signed as a free agent. The veteran infielder, who broke in with Arizona in 2004, appeared in 28 games for the Cubs this season.
Tracy adds another left-handed bat to the lineup. And he can split time at third base with Wes Helms.---
Tracy batted .250 in 44 at-bats with the Cubs this year. He last played in the big leagues on June 24.
What, the Marlins weren't fans of Hector Luna's gold glove-worthy performance at third base the other night? Apparently not.
To make room for Tracy, the Marlins optioned Bryan Petersen to NOLA.

Was hysterical watching Luna play 3rd
Luna makes both Helms and Cantu look like Gold Glovers.
Luna was just flat out slow physically and instinctively to ground balls the other night..
