The Red Sox have traded Mike Cameron to the Florida Marlins in exchange for a player to be named later or cash considerations.

The team made the announcement Tuesday evening.

Cameron was designated for assignment Thursday amid a dissapointing campaign in which he hit just .149 (14-for-94) with three home runs and nine RBIs in 33 games for Boston.

The Marlins will be the eighth organization for Cameron, who is owed roughly $3.5 million for the rest of the season. The Red Sox will send an undisclosed amount of cash to help out Florida in that regard.

Cameron, 38, is a career .249 hitter with 272 home runs, 950 RBIs and 296 stolen bases in 1,910 major league games over 17 seasons.
