It wasn’t a front page story like other transactions the Miami Marlins have made in the past year, but trading pitcher Dillon Peters to the Los Angeles Angels showed just how far the team’s minor league system has come in one season.
Peters was once considered one of the organization’s top prospects. A hard-throwing pitcher who was part of the starting rotation at the beginning of the 2018 season and a player the team considered part of its future.
Peters showed success in Jacksonville two seasons ago at Double-A and wooed the front office in Spring Training last year.
