Adeiny Hechavarria (“Hech” for the sake of my autocorrect) has been the Marlins starting shortstop since coming over as part of the Marlins-Blue Jays Blockbuster of 2012 that saw: Jose Reyes, Josh Johnson, Mark Buehrle (but not his dogs), John Buck, and Emilio Bonifacio sent to Toronto in exchange for Henderson Alvarez (gone), Anthony DeSclafani (gone), Yunel Escobar (gone), Jake Marisnick (gone), Jeff Mathis (recently re-signed!), Justin Nicolino (still here!), and Hech – which was easily the biggest swap between the US and Canada since the Ashburton Treaty. In retrospect, that particularly… efficient… fire sale netted the Fish a serious haul of future major leaguers that have, for the most part, gone on to play important important roles for other clubs.
