The Athletic and other sports outlets are reporting the Miami Marlins and the Arizona Diamondbacks have agreed to a deal that would involve closer Brad Ziegler.
The submarine-style pitcher has been the subject of several trade rumors involving the Miami Marlins over the past few days. Ken Rosenthal broke the news of the possible deal for Brad Ziegler on his Twitter account. That trade has now been confirmed by Joe Frisaro of MLB.com.
The move to trade Ziegler isn’t surprising given the veteran reliever will become a free agent at the end of the 2018 season.
