I’m a huge Marlins fan and I’ve been following the team since 2002 a few years after I moved from Brazil to South Florida. I love writing about baseball because I feel like I can teach people about sabermetrics and advanced analytical concepts in an easy and approachable manner. I’m currently pursuing my PhD in History at FSU. Go Noles. Follow me on Twitter @danzyl66.
The trade deadline has come and gone and the Marlins only ultimately traded Brad Ziegler for an underwhelming return and Cameron Maybin for International Slot Money which could prove pivotal in their pursuit of highly coveted Cuban OF Victor Victor Mesa who is considered the #1 international prospect by Baseball America.
