Which Marlins are more likely to be traded before the July 31 deadline?
The Marlins are less likely to deal players such as J.T. Realmuto and Kyle Barraclough before the July 31 trade deadline than they are “rentals” such as Brad Ziegler.
That doesn’t mean the Marlins aren’t listening when other teams call asking about their top younger players, and they're receiving plenty of calls on their relievers.
But they’re in no hurry to deal those with years of team control remaining.
“I think that’s why this trade deadline is a little different for us because your rentals are guys you’re open to talking about,” said Michael Hill, Marlins president of baseball operations. “But the majority of our guys, we have control over.”
