Miami Marlins prospect haul: Brayan Hernandez, OF
The Miami Marlins have officially sent David Phelps to Seattle in exchange for a package of prospects. Let’s take a look at the headliner of the group.
In what could be considered their first deadline deal of the season, the Miami Marlins took the best on the board approach. Needing pitchers first and foremost, they chose an offer from the Seattle Mariners that included several mid-range pitchers, and a plus outfielder.
News of the deal first started to break overnight, with the Mariners reportedly looking to add a reliever. The Mariners and Marlins linked up before noon, and the David Phelps era came to a close.
It’s time to run downstairs and unwrap whats under the prospect tree.
