Jesus Luzardo has seen his time with the Oakland A’s come to an end. On Wednesday, he was sent to the Miami Marlins, their return as Starling Marte headed to Oakland. It was a shocking trade, not only due to the A’s landing Marte, but also due to Luzardo being sent back to Miami.

While Luzardo is getting a fresh start in Miami, it shows how far he had fallen in the eyes of the organization.
