MIAMI, July 2 -- Both Paul Lo Duca, 36, and Odalis Pérez, 31, have played baseball long enough to learn the patterns of its calendar; they understand their sport -- on at least some level -- is a business, and they know that baseball is a business more than ever in July.

According to MLB.com's Joe Frisaro, the Marlins are looking to acquire a righthanded reliever and a veteran catcher. Frisaro says indications are that the Fish are "not serious" about Paul Lo Duca. Possibilities at catcher include Paul Bako, Yorvit Torrealba, and Michael Barrett (in my estimation). Back in November, the Marlins had interest in Torrealba and Barrett.

A few more minor notes from the MLBiverse... The Giants may have to trade for a long-reliever. Bruce Bochy admits that his team is without a long-reliever and will work to find extra innings from his middle relievers.
