Brewers And Marlins Interested In Laird

Jul 29, 2008 11:37 AM EST

The Marlins are the most aggressive suitor for Rangers' catcher Gerald Laird, but the Brewershave added themselves to the list of interested clubs, which also includes the Reds and Yankees.

Brewers' GM Doug Melvin acquired Laird for the Rangers in 2002, and Laird would be a strong complement to Jason Kendall, who needs to start only 16 more games to guarantee his vesting option for next season.

The Rangers are seeking a young starting pitcher in return for Laird and also fielding calls on their other catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia.
