Kim Ng told the world earlier this week that the Marlins were in active talks for relief help. On Sunday, her front office pulled the trigger on a trade that adds much-needed new blood to their bullpen. As first reported by MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand, the Marlins have acquired relievers Cole Sulser and Tanner Scott from the Orioles in exchange for prospects Antonio Velez and Kevin Guerrero, a 2022 Competitive Balance Round B draft pick and a player to be named later.
Just like in 2019 (Easton Lucas for Jonathan Villar) and 2020 (Isaac De León for Richard Bleier), the Marlins are flipping developing talent to Baltimore for major league upgrades.
