After the dust settled and the Miami Marlins front office collectively caught its breath, the team traded away pitching rather than veteran players with expiring contracts. It’s a bit of a surprise, but not as dramatic in the final moments of the MLB Trade Deadline as some would think.
The moves the team made over the course of five days – dating back to Saturday with the move to trade closer Sergio Romo – makes the Marlins minor league system even better. It also makes this organization stronger moving forward.
It was one of those days the Marlins and their fans will remember for a while.
