Source: Marlins making run at Penny - MLB News - FOX Sports on MSN
meh, I don't see him being a huge impact, but as we've already discussed a move to the NL would help him at least. I just don't think he'll put the Marlins over the top in the Wild Card race.The Marlins were among the most serious suitors for right-hander Brad Penny as of Friday night, a major league source told FOXSports.com.
Penny was released by the Red Sox on Wednesday, after going 7-8 with a 5.61 ERA in 24 starts.
Penny, who has more than $1 million remaining on his existing contract, is expected to clear release waivers. At that point, other clubs will be able to sign him for the prorated portion of the major league minimum.
