MIAMI -- The Miami Marlins acquired Jeff Francoeur from the Atlanta Braves in a three-team trade Wednesday night, hoping the well-traveled outfielder can provide a boost toward a playoff spot.Francoeur was the only major leaguer included in the deal that also involved Texas. Any big league player traded after Aug. 1 had to first be put on waivers.As part of the trade, the Braves will send Marlins $104,959 to help offset Francoeurs contract.Francoeur hugged his Atlanta teammates and coaches goodbye in the visiting dugout early in Wednesdays game at Arizona.Its hard. Hes a great kid. Hes one of the finest human beings Ive ever been around, Braves interim manager Brian Snitker said. Well miss him. Hes going to play meaningful games, good for him.Atlanta got minor league shortstop Dylan Moore from Texas and catcher Matt Foley from Miami and the Rangers obtained two international signing slots from Miami and one from Texas.Miami is contending for an NL wild-card spot and isnt sure whether star outfielder Giancarlo Stanton will return this season from a severe groin strain.Francoeur hit .249 with seven home runs and 33 RBI in 99 games for the Braves. The 32-year-old plays both left field and right field and is known for a strong arm.The Marlins will be Francoeurs eighth team in the majors. Besides Atlanta, he has played for Kansas City, the New York Mets, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Texas and San Diego.Hes been great for our young kids and has been great on the field as well, said Braves assistant general manager Billy Ryan. Unfortunately, the circumstances of where we are as an organization, the Marlins are in contention, theyre going for it, so it was an opportunity for him to get some meaningful at-bats and hopefully get in the postseason.---AP freelancer Jose M.

This was no night to go to sleep.PARIS -- One of the best moves of the summer transfer window in France was Radamel Falcaos decision to stay at Monaco, rather than to take another loan spell somewhere.Four goals in two games last week underlined his strong return to form -- he has been recalled by Colombias national team -- yet it was a goal Falcao had disallowed that offered a better glimpse he is somewhere back to his best.Late in the first half against Nancy last Saturday, his strike partner Valere Germain had a header saved.The ball fell to Falcao, who was to the right of six-yard box, off balance and without a clear shooting chance. In a flash, he expertly dragged the ball back, span around nimbly and still had the presence of mind to artfully glide the ball into the middle of the net.It would have been his hat trick but was ruled out for offside. Yet it showed that his instinct is returning and that he has confidence in his body again.He remains one of the best strikers. Hes only 30 (years old), Monaco coach Leonardo Jardim said. Our objective is to get him back to his (best) level.It has been a difficult return from injury and loss of form for Falcao, once arguably the most lethal poacher in the world when with Atletico Madrid. He had scored 72 goals in 87 games for Porto when Atletico snapped him up in the summer of 2011, and in two seasons for Atletico he netted 70 goals in 91 games, winning the Europa League and the Spanish Cup.Falcao joined Monaco in May 2013 a deal worth 60 million euros ($67 million) and netted 11 in 19 games.But in January, 2014 he tore his anterior cruciate ligament playing in a French Cup game. He would normally have been rested against non-league Chasselay, but insisted on playing. The defender who injured him -- Soner Ertek -- received a stream of vitriolic threats on social media from irate fans and the clubs president said a hateful letter was even sent from Colombia.Falcao missed the World Cup later that year and his career nosedived.He joined Manchester United and then Chelsea -- both on loans. But his pacee had gone, he looked unhappy and drastically low on confidence.dddddddddddd He managed just four league goals for United and one for Chelsea -- where nine of his 10 league appearances were as substitute.Jardim criticized Falcaos decision to move to the Premier League when clearly not ready for its hugely physical demands.He tried to keep playing at a high level. Normally, when a player is injured he doesnt change club, Jardim said. Its not easy to recover and to play at the same time. Players are not machines.This season, Falcao has scored eight goals in 10 games for Monaco and is captain.He needs one more goal in upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Chile or Argentina to become Colombias all-time top scorer.Ive worked hard to be able to return to the national team, said Falcao, who has 25 international goals.Jardim, a Portuguese coach in his third season in charge, has turned second-place Monaco into an attractive, high-scoring team with 36 goals in 12 league games.Though 13 different players have scored in the league, its the partnership between Falcao and Germain that stands out.The unheralded Germain was loaned to Nice last season after two inconsistent campaigns with Monaco.Leading the line, he scored a commendable 14 league goals for Nice and, just like Falcao, returned.They have gelled.Although Germain lacks pace and is not a great finisher, he has outstanding movement, awareness and touch -- making him the perfect foil for Falcaos robust yet technically assured style.In particular, the clever timing of Germains wide runs gives Falcao the space to quickly take up central positions. Against CSKA Moscow last Wednesday, Germain peeled away from the right of the defense before slotting a reverse pass for Falcaos second goal in a 3-0 win.It summed up the understanding that makes the Colombia striker optimistic about the season ahead.The more I play, the better Ill get, Falcao said.
