The Tigers are interested in trading for Marlins' catcher Matt Treanor, according to BaseballProspectus.com.The 32-year-old catcher wouldn't offer much offensively, but would be appreciated by the Tigers' pitching staff while serving behind the plate. He would also work as a mentor to Dusty Ryan.

If the Bucs can pull off a deal, they'd then try to package Treanor and shortstop Jack Wilson to the Tigers, who are looking for shortstop and catching help. Stay tuned.

Matt Treanor underwent surgery last week to repair muscle tears around his left hip and an umbilical hernia. Treanor expects to be ready for spring training, though he doesn't know if he'll still be with the Marlins. He's a candidate to be non-tendered since he'd probably make close to $1 million in arbitration.Source: South Florida Sun-Sentinel

Marlins catcher Matt Treanor had successful surgery to repair his hip, and would like to be back with the Florida Marlins next year, according to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. "If the Marlins do keep me, I feel I would definitely be a positive in the clubhouse, but things happen," he said.Treanor is scheduled to be headed for salary arbitration if the Marlins choose to keep him. He has no fantasy value as a .238 hitter, and is more useful to Florida for his experience on a young team.
