Per Zachary D. Rymer, the Miami Marlins received grades for the two players they traded and for the players they received in return. Centerfielder Cameron Maybin was sent to Seattle Mariners and reliever Brad Ziegler was traded to the Arizona Diamondbacks.
The moves made were surprising, since it was expected Miami would be heavily involved in the days leading up to the trade deadline.
Maybin was sent to the west coast to help the Mariners with their deficiencies in centerfield. The belief is the veteran will provide a steadying influence in the outfield.
