Whether we look back on this time someday as a success or a failure still needs to be written – that’s why they play the games, after all. What I’m planning on to focus on here are the four deals that initially gutted the Miami Marlins at the major league level, in dealing away four all-stars in short order.
Namely, the Marlins traded away four established major leaguers after the 2017 season and prior to 2018 – more-or-less for mostly unproven prospects. Trades that give away performance for potential is nothing new, but these four trades tugged at more than a few Marlins-fans heartstrings.
