If the Boston Red Sox are scouring the trade market for controllable, high-end starting pitching — the Miami Marlins seem like a perfect match, given their abundance of young arms both in the rotation and further down in their prospect pipeline.
Of course, given the premium placed on young starters, the Red Sox would likely have to part with a significant blue-chip prospect of their own to facilitate such a move. The Miami Herald reported earlier this week that the Marlins would be interested in dealing “a significant player” in exchange for Boston first baseman Triston Casas.
