Thursday morning, Miami Marlins fans awoke to curious news as the team acquired righty starter Dan Straily from the Cincinnati Reds for a trio of Top 10 prospects that included promising young fireballer Luis Castillo. Fellow pitcher Austin Brice and outfielder Isaiah White were the other two prospects in the deal.
As linked above, Jon Heyman broke the news of the official swap, and Jim Bowden of ESPN broke down the full package of prospects.
But as I said, curious news, and there is a lot to unpack here when sizing up just how much sense (if any) this deal made for the Marlins.
