MARLINS ACQUIRE CAMERON

The Florida Marlins acquired outfielder Mike Cameron from the Boston Red Sox for cash.

What does it give the Florida Marlins
The Marlins have had outfield issues all season, particularly in center field. Therefore, veteran Cameron could see a lot of playing time the rest of the way. First, he must prove he can still contribute regularly.

What does it give the Boston Red Sox
The Red Sox had designated Cameron for assignment, so a trade was in the offing. They'll accept a limited prospect or a sum of cash in return for his services. Boston has several outfielders capable of replacing Cameron.
