Eric Thames is due $6 million for 2019 and has a $1 million buyout on his contract option for 2020. He’s also going to sit on the Milwaukee Brewers bench for most of 2019. For the payroll-conscious Brewers, moving Thames has to be on the table.
One place that he could possibly go is to the Miami Marlins. Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic (subscription required) brought up in his latest notes column that Thames could be a fit for the Marlins.

According to Rosenthal, the Marlins are seeking a left-handed bat to add to their lineup.
