The Cincinnati Reds received a massive haul for Luis Castillo, effectively resetting the market for starting pitching. One player impacted by this is Pablo López, who has become a prime target before Tuesday’s trade deadline. He has two-and-a-half years of team control left and has been a quality rotation piece as a big-leaguer.
Should López be moved, the Marlins will command a hefty premium from contending clubs. Let’s look at some potential pieces they could receive back to justify moving such an impactful player.
I’ve previously discussed the Marlins’ lack of star-hitting prospects, so I’m restricting this list exclusively to position players simply because the team has a surplus of quality pitching.
