Re: Today's Miami Herald: Marlins targeting Ross

Use the modest savings to sign foreign players or to get the final bump to get Alonso in the fold. The Reds need to make room for a pitcher eventually to replace Thompson and a deal of Ross reduces the teams inventory of crappy catchers from 3 to 2 and creates a spot.
I wouldn't trade Ross just to make room for another player.

He's a very good back up catcher, as he hits LH pitching very well.

He's likley a big part of our catching next year. Valentin should be dumped if you need a spot.
