Without a doubt, the 2020 MLB season has been the strangest ever: COVID-19 pandemic looming, no fans in the stands, designated hitter in the National League, 60 games, and expanded playoffs. And despite all that, the Marlins approached the trade deadline as buyers for the first time since 2016. On top of that, they made a splash.
The Marlins acquired Starling Marte from the Arizona Diamondbacks in exchange for LHP Caleb Smith, RHP Humberto Mejía, and a PTBNL (reportedly LHP prospect Julio Frias). The 31-year-old center fielder is a former All-Star and gold glover.
