The Miami Marlins are reportedly still looking to add a starting pitcher, and a pair of arms the organization was after are off the market as of Thursday afternoon. Here are some notes as of noon eastern time.
-Tommy Milone is no longer available, having been traded to the Minnesota Twins. The Marlins liked what they saw in the lefty, who was sent to Triple-A and requested a trade.
