Remember back when we were closing on the 2017 trade deadline, when we were all hots on for nowhere trying to find out what we could get in return for Adeiny Hechavarria? Apparently, he was holding up the progression of heir-apparent J.T. Riddle to his rightful spot at starting shortstop with the Miami Marlins. Sometimes, you have to be careful what you wish for.
Since leaving the Miami Marlins, Hechavarria has performed about how you would expect – a light bat and a solid fielder. What you couldn’t have known is just how circuitous would be Hechavarria’s route through the major leagues.
