All off-season long, there has been fretting from various corners that the Marlins were going to screw up this rebuild by holding onto their most valuable assets and wasting their trading potential while various youngsters developed around them.
With Christian Yelich’s departure, that should be firmly put to rest, and now we have no choice but to presume that J.T. Realmuto wont be too far behind. Like Yelich, Realmuto has requested a trade and does not wish to be a part of the rebuild.
Unlike Yelich, the market for Realmuto doesn’t appear to be very big at the moment, with the Washington Nationals presently being the only serious suitors.
