It’s no mystery that the Miami Marlins were listening to offers on infielder Martin Prado. The team captain is well liked by his peers, but wasn’t doing much for the organization’s bottom line. In the first year of a three year contract, the team was already looking to move Prado.
A number of potential suitors had emerged. The Yankees and the Red Sox appeared to be the most interested. In recent days, a deal with Boston was gaining steam, and an agreement appeared inevitable. The deal might have gotten the kibosh on Monday night.
