]]> Heading into extra innings, the Florida Marlins did something they have done many times this year — they pulled out the victory. In the top of the 11th, Jeremy Hermida hit a three-run bomb to put the Marlins up for good by a final count of 9-6.

With the win, the Marlins are now 10-1 on the season. That marks the best start in franchise history after 11 games.

The team that took the loss on Saturday isn’t new to the loss column. The Washington Nationals are now 1-9 after ten games.

The Nationals actually appeared to be heading to a victory with a 6-3 lead going into the ninth inning. But after the Marlins got within 6-4, Hermida hit a two-run blast to tie the game.

On the game, Hermida was 3-for-6 with three runs and five RBI. He entered the game with only one homer and three RBIs.

]]> The baseball winter meeting is underway and that means a lot of baseball news is sure to generated in the next week. Which players are most likely to be traded during the winter meetings?

Jermaine Dye - Chicago White Sox

1. Jermaine Dye, Chicago White Sox
The White Sox seem to be dangling Dye to any team that will listen. One rumor that has grown legs suggests that the White Sox are considering trading Dye to the Cincinnati Reds for pitcher Homer Baily.

2. Jeremy Hermida, Florida Marlins
The Marlins have already made a lot of moves to help save money in forthcoming years. Moving Jeremy Hermida would do just that. And better yet, the Marlins could get a lot in return for Hermida.

3. Miguel Tejada, Houston Astros
The Astros need to dump salary in order to go after free agents. One way to dump salary would be to find a taker for Miguel Tejada. Although he’s coming off of a so-so campaign, a lot of teams could use a shortstop.

4. Gerald Laird, Taylor Teagarden, Jarrod Saltalamacchia, Texas Rangers
The Rangers have a ton of catching prospects. Considering that they have a lot of holes on their roster, look for them to trade at least one of the catching prospects. The best bet has the Rangers trading a catcher for pitching help.

5. Ryan Ludwick, St. Louis Cardinals
Coming off of a career season, a lot of teams are interested in Ryan Ludwick. The Cardinals also seem willing to move him for the right pieces. Those two aspects combine to make Ludwick a hot name at the winter meetings.
