Two trades, lots of speculation and more future prospects added to the Miami Marlins minor league system. That sums up Tuesday’s dealings that saw reliever Brad Ziegler sent to Arizona and center fielder Cameron Maybin taking his talents to Seattle.
There was no “big” trade of J.T. Realmuto. There was no decimation of a bullpen full of youth. There were no deals involving Derek Dietrich or Starlin Castro. Either the Marlins have decided to wait out the storm of losing with the roster they have or there will be plenty of trade activity this coming offseason.
