The early returns on the Marlins’ big winter trades have been anything but spectacular. At least not at the major league level.
While Giancarlo Stanton, Christian Yelich and Marcell Ozuna are happy campers, wearing new uniforms on teams that are pushing for the playoffs, the collection of players the Marlins received in return for the three outfielders have made little to no impact in Miami so far.
Lewis Brinson has struggled to hit above the “Mendoza Line” (but is starting to show some late-season life) while Magneuris Sierra has struggled to hit much of anything.
Sandy Alcantara could be the exception.
