faba Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Marlins trade prospect Hernandez for left-hander Rhodes ESPN.com news services Updated: July 31, 2008, 12:57 PM ET Arthur Rhodes' last game with the Mariners resulted in an ejection. Now the left-handed reliever has been thrown into a pennant race with the Florida Marlins. Rhodes Rhodes, 38, has been traded by the Mariners to Florida for pitching prospect Gaby Hernandez. On Wednesday, with the Mariners' game against the Rangers tied at 3, Rhodes (2-1) loaded the bases in the eighth with one-out walks to David Murphy, Josh Hamilton and Marlon Byrd, all on full counts. After the go-ahead run scored, Rhodes was being removed from the game by manager Jim Riggleman. As he walked toward the dugout, Rhodes yelled at home plate umpire Paul Nauert because Rhodes didn't get two close pitches on 3-2 counts, and Nauert ejected Rhodes. "You've got to make your calls out there," said Rhodes, who's been the subject of trade rumors. "I'm out there making good pitches, the ball's going over the plate, you should call it. But I have no comment over that." Rhodes, in his 17th season, has a 2.86 ERA in 36 games for the Mariners this season with 26 strikeouts in 22 innings. Left-handed hitters are hitting just .200 against him in 2008. The 21-year-old Hernandez went a combined 5-8 this season with a 6.47 ERA in 17 starts for Triple-A Albuquerque and Double-A Carolina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
