The Marlins traded beloved first baseman Justin Bour to the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday after he was claimed on waivers.
Bour was an absolute steal by the Marlins from the Cubs in the the minor league phase of the 2013 Rule 5 draft. In his time in Miami from 2014 through today, Bour slashed .262/.346/.470. His batting average plummeted this season to .227, but he was able to maintain a respectable .346 on-base percentage along with 19 home runs.
