Re-examining the Miami Marlins deal for Lewin Diaz
The Miami Marlins traded closer Sergio Romo to the Minnesota Twins for minor league prospect Lewin Diaz. Diaz could be a steal at first base.
When the Marlins look back in five seasons on the trade that sent Lewin Diaz to south Florida in exchange for reliever Sergio Romo, will this price to be another under-the-radar move that makes the Marlins a better hitting ball club?
Diaz is already ranked 12th in the Marlins minor league system and has been assigned to Double-A Jacksonville. Miami is counting on his power, where he has hit 20 home runs in the Twins minor league system this season after dipping in Minnesota’s rankings from a poor 2018 campaign.
