11:26am: Miami has announced the release of Saltalamacchia.
11:20am: The Marlins were not able to find a trade partner for struggling catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports reports on Twitter. Saltalamacchia, who was designated recently, will be placed on release waivers.
The news rates as at least a mild surprise. Miami had hoped to find a team to pick up at least some of the approximately $6MM left on his 2015 salary, to say nothing of the $8MM owed next year. Several clubs were reported to be in talks with the Fish, but apparently none were willing to offer enough value to warrant a deal.
