In one of the moves expected to be made before the trade deadline, the Marlins have reached an agreement to send reliever David Phelps to the Seattle Mariners on Thursday in exchange for four prospects.

The Marlins had not yet confirmed the trade as of early Thursday afternoon.

But according to multiple reports, the Marlins would acquire 19-year old Venezuelan center fielder Brayan Hernandez as well as right-handed pitching prospects Brandon Miller, Pablo Lopez and Lukas Schiraldi.

Hernandez is the top-rated prospect, ranked sixth in the Mariners system according to MLBPipeline.com.

Hernandez hit .252 with two home runs and 15 RBI in 112 appearances in short season Single A ball for the Mariners, and is likely still a few years from the majors.
