The Marlins gave up a lot in this trade, but they got back two rotation pieces in Andrew Cashner and Colin Rea who can help in the present and future.
The Miami Marlins finally found their trade partner for their starting rotation need, acquiring the reinvigorated Andrew Cashner from the San Diego Padres in return for first base prospect Josh Naylor, the team’s only top-100 prospect. However, this trade ended up happening in a somewhat different fashion than expected, with the Marlins giving up Jarred Cosart, Luis Castillo, and injured reliever Carter Capps to acquire Cashner, fellow starter Colin Rea, and reliever Tayron Guerrero.
