More Catchers to Florida?

The City of Champions floats the rumor of a trade between the Marlins and Dodgers. The story is Scott Olsen and Dan Uggla for Russell Martin.

If this deal came to fruition, it would be the fourth good catcher in a row traded to a Florida team by the Dodgers. They sent Mike Piazza and Paul Lo Duca to the Marlins. They also traded away Dioner Navarro to the Rays (although Dioner was not good yet). I wonder if Dodger fans will be as upset about Martin as they were about Lo Duca. That turned out to be the right move. I'm not so sure about this one.

Update: The rumor denied.

It's a completely bogus rumor. It was bogus before - nonsensical - and Colletti comfirmed yesterday that Martin is not available for trade.
