Rumor: Marlins Want Braves Number 1 Prospect For Yelich

MIAMI (CBSMiami) – With Miami Marlins outfielder Christian Yelich’s agent describing the relationship between team and player as “irretrievably broken,” it appears the Marlins are now exploring the trade market.

But are they asking for the impossible in return?

CBS Sports’ Mike Axisa examined the latest trade rumor involving Yelich.

The Marlins, despite the rocky start to the Bruce Sherman/Derek Jeter era, know Yelich is extremely valuable. That’s why, according to Hall of Fame journalist Peter Gammons, the team asked the Atlanta Braves for No. 1 prospect Ronald Acuna in trade talks.
