Everybody with a least a bit of baseball knowledge knows that the Marlins need more quality hitters if they want to be a competitive team in the upcoming seasons. While their pitching is among the best in the league, their offense is among the worst ones.
In an attempt to get long-term bats, their front office was close to pulling off a trade with the Angels before the trade deadline on July 30, according to the Miami Herald. The Marlins would have shipped off pitching prospect Max Meyer to receive outfield prospect Brandon Marsh.
