The Washington Nationals have acquired left-handed starter Scott Olsen as well as outfielder Josh Willingham from the Florida Marlins. The Fish are seemingly rebuilding again, as they've already moved Olsen, Willingham, as well as first baseman Mike Jacobs.
The Marlins will receive second baseman Emilio Bonifacio, as well as minor-league hurler P.J. Dean and shortstop Jake Smolinski. Seems like a wierd deal for Florida, as they receive players at the two positions that they have a lock on. Bonifacio will be shaded by the powerful Dan Uggla, and Smolinski will never see time at short with Hanley Ramirez in front of him. Could this mean Dan Uggla might hit the market? It's quite the possibility, but they could always just move him to third.
