The Marlins have a well-documented history of selling key pieces off their roster this time of year.
Should they make any moves in the three days left before this year’s non-waiver trade deadline, expect them to get a pretty good haul in return since they’re prioritizing the organization’s long-term success.
In that sense, Marlins manager Don Mattingly said Saturday that the club’s philosophy feels different than in years past.
“I think in general it feels like the whole organization is together on the philosophy [regarding any trades],” Mattingly said. “We’re trying to keep our players. We’re trying to win and trying to evaluate if we’re making a deal we want to make a baseball deal and not a deal that fits right now and doesn’t fit looking forward.
