I agree with the MLB.com trio of Jim Callis, Mike Rosenbaum, and Jonathan Mayo. It would be difficult to think that after the Miami Marlins worked so hard to acquire top-level minor league prospects, the front office would trade pieces to the future puzzle of this franchise.
But if this ball club is going to be a player in free agency and potential trades this offseason, then Derek Jeter and Michael Hill have to seriously look at every scenario that will help make the Marlins a winner sooner rather than later.
This is going to be the third season the Marlins have undergone this transformation – one in which the team before the Jeter Era was full of budding stars, but there was little production from them as a whole.
