The New York Yankees and Miami Marlins made the biggest splash of the offseason before Winter Meetings even began. It turns out new Marlins co-owner Derek Jeter is still working in the interest of helping the Yankees win the World Series. In an effort to shed payroll and rebuild, the Marlins traded 2017 NL MVP Giancarlo Stanton to the Yankees in return for former Chicago Cubs shortstop Starlin Castro and two prospects.
The Marlins, however, are not done moving pieces and clearing salary. Castro isn’t expected to remain with the Marlins for very long.
