Miami was known to be in pursuit of late inning relief help but may not consider adding a closer-type arm before the July 31 trade deadline.
After a pair of home victories over the Yankees, the Marlins head to Yankee Stadium with the goal of inching closer to five hundred. The organization could both buy and sell as the July 31 non-waiver trading deadline approaches and the club has been considering external upgrades.
Before A.J. Ramos, who has had a fair amount of success, was named the Marlins' closer, the Marlins considered trading for Phillies closer Jonathan Papelbon, according to Barry Jackson of The Miami Herald.
