The Miami Marlins parted ways with promising starter Zac Gallen with the trade deadline bearing down on them. In return, the team acquired minor league prospect Jazz Chisholm off the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Chisholm is the Diamondbacks number one ranked prospect, although he’s completely untested at the major league level, and has struggled mightily at the double-A level this season. He’s slashed .204/.305/.427 in 89 games for the Jackson Generals, in the Southern League. In the short term, look for him to remain a SL prospect and join the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp.
Gallen had started the season at the triple-A level with the New Orleans Baby Cakes in the Pacific Coast League.
