During the 2017-18 offseason, the Miami Marlins received Jordan Yamamoto as part of the package of players from the Milwaukee Brewers for now-reigning National League Most Valuable Player Christian Yelich.
Of course, Yelich is following up his MVP campaign with another season that could end up looking even better. Meanwhile, deal centerpiece Lewis Brinson (then a top 100 MLB prospect) hasn’t been reciprocating with anything resembling a major league level of talent. Monte Harrison and Isan Diaz are still learning how to strike out less at the triple-A level (now with Brinson with the New Orleans Baby Cakes).
