It’s August, and Dan Straily is still a member of the Miami Marlins.
That’s a bigger win than any the Fish have enjoyed this season.
Trade rumors were rampant that Straily would be on the move. Perhaps to the Brewers, perhaps to Colorado, but definitely somewhere. Off to some club that didn’t bury itself in the standings with a horrific May, or get repeatedly tripped up by injuries.
Probably would have been a decent return too. Plenty of young prospects that are in no danger of doing anything irksome like cracking a big league roster before September 2018, or earning seven figures over the next couple seasons.
