The submarine-style pitcher has been the topic of several trade rumors involving the Miami Marlins. Brad Ziegler, who pitched in Boston before in 2016, could be a key addition to the American League East team in its push to the playoffs.
Per Sean Penney of FanSided’s bosoxinjection.com, “FanCred’s Jon Heyman mentioned the Red Sox as a possible landing spot for right-handed reliever.”
It’s a move that would allow the Marlins to receive compensation for a player who will be a free agent at the end of this season.
Ziegler started the 2018 season as the Marlins closer but lost his spot to Kyle Barraclough, who is also the subject of possible trade rumors.
