The thing is when Sauron gave out the original nine rings he did not give them to random men. He gave them to Kings. So lets assume that he gave one of the three Dwarven rings to the Mouth of Sauron. He has two left, who do you think he is going to give them to? I think one of his goals might have been at some point to capture Denethor and give him one of the rings, or maybe Boromir. It seems like in Sauron's eyes only some are fit to be his most faithful servants.
I see no evidence that Sauron had such ambitions.
In the first place, capturing Denethor would have been no easy task, as it almost certainly would have required a full on assault against Minas Tirith, along the lines of the events of the War of the Ring. And we saw Denethor's reaction when he became convinced the City would fall. I don't think he would have allowed himself to be taken prisoner.
As for Boromir, if Sauron had designs of that sort would there have been a better time to attempt to capture him than when he was fighting to destroy the bridge at Osgiliath? The implication was that Boromir and Faramir were able to retreat only because the attack had served its purpose as a diversion to allow the Nazgűl to cross the Anduin. And the Witch-king was present! Surely if Sauron had wanted Boromir he could have had him then.
