#MakeStarlinAMarlin was a 2015 campaign that brought Marlins Twitter together almost as much as the 2017 Civil War tore us apart. That dream finally became reality when the Marlins acquired Starlin Castro as part of the Giancarlo Stanton trade with the Yankees at the 2017 Winter Meetings. There was always the idea that Castro would be a guy that the Marlins could flip for some value if he performed well, and that this was just a temporary placeholder.
The Marlins stayed put at the deadline last summer with Castro.
