Update: Marlins Very Aggressive for Fuentes

Will Carroll over at Baseball Prospectus has an update regarding the Brian Fuentes sweepstakes. According to Will the Marlins are heavy buyers this year and have the payroll to make the moves. From BP…

The Marlins certainly have the payroll room to be buyers, but they seem more focused on the small fish. They’d like to get a closer and Brian Fuentes is at the top of their list. The Rockies closer is available and seems likely to go before the deadline. Several other teams are in on this, but two sources have told me that the Marlins are very aggressively pursuing a deal.
