Another trade has happened for the Florida Marlins as they have sent relief pitcher Kevin Gregg to the Chicago Cubs for minor league pitcher Jose Ceda. A lot of Marlins fans out there are happy tp see Gregg off the team as he struggled in 2008 with nine blown saves and 7-8 record.

Ceda is a pretty good prospect that was ranked #4 in the Cubs minor leagues by Baseball America. The Marlins dumped Gregg and saved cash while picking up a guy that could very well be a lot better then Gregg in 2009.

The Florida Marlins worked out a trade with the Washington Nationals on Monday as they sent Scott Olsen and Josh Willingham up north to Washington D.C. In return, the Marlins will be getting three young players as they look to add even more youth to their roster.

The Marlins will be getting second baseman Emilio Bonifacio and two minor leaguers: second baseman Jake Smolinski and right-hander P.J. Dean in the five player trade.

I know a lot of Marlins fans are thinking why did the Marlins make this trade? Well both Willingham and Olsen are entering their first year of salary arbitration. Basically it is a paycut on the team salary.

What do you think of the trade Marlins fans?
