Marlins special assistant Jeff Conine, a former teammate of Hanley Ramirez, would be open to dealing the shortstop if the decision were solely up to him. Ramirez has heated up in July, batting .333 with five homers and 18 RBI. "If it were up to me, probably," Conine said when asked if Florida should consider dealing Ramirez. Ramirez is in the middle of a reasonable six-year, $70 million deal that lasts until 2014.
