Update: ESPN is reporting that this deal has in fact been made. The Marlins will receive Rhodes in exchange for 22 year old pitcher, Gabby Hernandez.
The Miami Herald is reporting that the Florida Marlins are close to acquiring reliever Arthur Rhodes from the Seattle Mariners in exchange for a "midlevel" prospect.
The Marlins have been one of the seemingly countless teams searching for relief help and the Mariners are leading the pack of sellers so a deal would seem to make sense for both teams. The 37 year old journeyman, Rhodes, is 2-0 with a 3.83 ERA in 36 appearances this year.
