In February, the Marlins made a surprising move. Right before Spring Training, they traded for veteran reliever Dylan Floro and sent left-hander Alex Vesia, one of their promising young arms, to the Dodgers along with new draft pick Kyle Hurt.
That trade has paid off big time for the Fish, as Floro has been among baseball’s best relievers during the 2021 regular season. He’s been used mostly as the setup guy to closer Yimi García and has done a wonderful job.

In 20 games, Floro has pitched 18 2⁄3 innings of 14 hits and three runs (two earned), along with only four walks and 17 strikeouts.
