MARLINS GET CLOSER RODNEY IN TRADE

-

The Miami Marlins acquired closer Fernando Rodney from the San Diego Padres to bolster their bullpen for the National League wild-card chase. Manager

Don Mattingly hasn’t expressed a lack of faith in A.J. Ramos, who has converted 33 save opportunit­ies in row since last year, so Rodney likely is a setup man. Miami sent minor league pitcher

Chris Paddack to the Padres.
