Now that the calendar has turned to June, let us take a look at some trade candidates for the Miami Marlins.
Heading into Monday, the Miami Marlins were showing some signs of life. They had won 11 of their last 16 games, no longer looking like the doormats they had been at the beginning of the season. With Derek Jeter demanding that the team be competitive, this recent run has to be great to see.
Nonetheless, the Marlins remain last in the NL East, 11 games back in the division. While the division as a whole has disappointed, it is still quite the climb for the Marlins to get back into the race. The Phillies have already made a move to upgrade their lineup, while the Dallas Keuchel and Craig Kimbrel dominoes have yet to fall.
As such, the Marlins should be active at the trade deadline. With their focus on attempting to build sustainable success at the major league level, Miami will need to add impact players to their system. While they may not have the type of player that would bring back a top prospect, the Marlins could end up with some intriguing pieces. After all, just look at some of the prospects that the Marlins have traded away over the years…
Which players could the Miami Marlins trade at the deadline? Let’s take a look.
