The Miami Marlins currently lead the National League wild card, sit in second place in their division, and are rumored to be looking to add some pitching this summer. Meanwhile, the Yankees are a game below .500 and are in danger of falling into last place in the AL East. Because of the strengths and weaknesses of these two teams, it makes sense that they could easily become trade partners in just a few weeks time.
As the MLBTR report mentions, the Marlins could stand to upgrade the starting rotation around Jose Fernandez, as well as build a stronger bullpen.
