The Miami Marlins have resigned themselves to be sellers at the deadline. They won’t be trading away anyone you’d conceivably buy a jersey of, but they’ll be moving a few pieces. They’ve already started the process ahead of the deadline.
Moving Hechavarria to Tampa Bay could be considered the first deal. While it was more than a month ahead of the deadline, the emergence of JT Riddle and his inflated salary did him in. David Phelps was moved less than a week ago.
With the rotation in flux, and a few positional battles on the infield, the Miami Marlins are holding auditions from now, through spring training for the 2018 season.
