Every week throughout June and July, I will be presenting the framework for Marlins trades that could hypothetically happen right now. The article series kicked off with a 2-for-2 proposal involving the Diamondbacks, aimed at bolstering Miami’s infield with versatile veteran Eduardo Escobar.
Since then, however, the Marlins have lost all but one of their games and slipped into the NL East cellar. Two more starting rotation candidates sustained injuries and will miss substantial time as a result. A lot could change by the trade deadline, but it’s currently hard to picture them behaving like conventional “buyers” this summer.
