With 90 minutes remaining until the 2018 MLB Trade Deadline, Jerry Dipoto struck his fourth ~deadline deal, and his first to bring in a position player by acquiring OF Cameron Maybin from the Miami Marlins in exchange for a yet-to-be announced prospect and international bonus pool money.
Maybin, who is a free agent at the end of the season, figures to relieve Guillermo Heredia of everyday duties in center field, theoretically bumping either he or Ben Gamel off the 25-man roster.
Maybin, who inked a a one year, $3.2M deal with the Marlins prior to this season, has been Miami’s primary fourth outfielder, logging 287 plate appearances and appearing in 99 games.
