Trade Deadline Preview: Miami Marlins

Relief Pitching

Bullpen arms are a dime-a-dozen, so I’m not going to narrow this down to just a few select names. Every team can always use extra relief arms, and the Marlins are notable because of the patchwork bullpen they have assembled. In the last month the Marlins have signed Kevin Gregg, traded for Bryan Morris and shifted Jacob Turner from the rotation to long relief. It seems like on a given night, one area of the Marlins pitching staff will falter; when the starters go deep into games, the pen has been inclined to cough up leads. Should the Fish find themselves near or above .500 in late July, a bullpen arm or two would benefit them.

I would personally target a setup guy to bridge the gap before their fantastic closer Steve Cishek comes in to close the door.
