Marlins are looking for an Upgrade

The Florida Marlins are looking for an upgrade at shortstop. The Marlins current shortstop is Osvaldo Martinez, and Osvaldo is in his first season playing every day at short. Osvaldo is impressive in his first season playing every day, hitting .280 with 53 RBIs and 117 hits. Osvaldo has played on the Marlins since 2010.
The Marlins are 68-52 and are tied for first in the Wild Card with the Cardinals. The sole reason I think this is, is that the Cardinals have been plagued with injuries since Aroldis Chapman got injured. Right now it seems like the Marlins will win the Wild Card. 
Now players that I could see the Marlins getting are, Hanley Ramirez 93 or Asdrubal Cabrera 90.
Hanley is on the Santa Ana Dons, who have said that there rebuilding. Hanley has very good contact and power and has good speed. Hanley is 32 and is making 17.1 Million until 2018, and in 2016 he has a .296 AVG and 20 home runs.
The Indians have showed much interest in trading Asdrubal considering that they have Chris Owings. Asdrubal is 30 and makes only 4.9 Million until 2018, and in 2016 he has a .249 AVG and has 5 home runs.
