FLORIDA MARLINS
Pudge return looks `bleak' Friday's talk settled only this: The gap between what the Marlins have offered and what their free agent catcher wants is so wide both sides are preparing to move on.
Marlins general manager Larry Beinfest and Scott Boras, the agent for free agent catcher Ivan Rodriguez, said Friday they were not hopeful they could agree on a deal before midnight Sunday, when the world champions' window to negotiate with the playoff MVP closes.

UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI

The Golden Panthers are 1-7 against the University of Miami Hurricanes going into tonight's game at the Convocation Center, and that one win was a biggie for the FIU program.
