Miami, FL (Sports Network) - The Washington Nationals acquired left fielder Josh Willingham and left-handed pitcher Scott Olsen from the Florida Marlins on Tuesday.

Washington is sending second baseman Emilio Bonifacio, minor league pitcher P.J. Dean and minor league second baseman Jake Smolinski to Florida.
