When It Comes to Trades, "Everything Is On the Table" For the Marlins

[Brock Beauchamp]

Jon Heyman wrote that a rival executive has said "everything is on the table" when it comes to the Marlins improving their roster in 2024.

Does this include even Luis Arraez?

The Marlins have several intriguing pieces, including the two-time batting champion who flirted with hitting .400 for the first half of the 2023 season. Arraez, still only 26 years old, has spent every at-bat of his career with an average over .300 (excluding the first, obviously). Arraez is something of a throwback player whose primary concerns are health and defensive positioning. He's an adequate second baseman in his mid-20s but has often found himself at both first base and DH due to lingering injuries in his lower body.

The Marlins also have Jesus Luzardo in their rotation and have been linked to trade rumors over the past few months. Luzardo is entering his age-26 season and posted a career-high 178.2 innings pitched in 2023 with an ERA+ of 125. He will not become a free agent until after the 2026 season.

Please Arnold - go get Arraez!!

Would they eat a material chunk of Josh Bell’s $16.5m contract?

There isn't a single player on this current roster i wouldn't trade ( except JC ) for Luzardo

I am not sure the Brewers match up all that well with the Marlins.  What I mean by this is I don't believe there are pieces that the Marlins would want that the Brewers are willing to part with.  Obviously Chourio would be of interest to the Marlins but I don't believe you are getting Arraez or Luzardo back in a trade for someone like Frelick or MItchell.  Turang also doesn't make any sense for the Marlins.

I can't see us giving up our high end prospects, maybe Quero because he is blocked by Contreras. I kind of like Edward Cabrera or Trevor Rogers as low value options. Cabrera just needs some control and he could be an ace and Rogers has injuries that have derailed him since a strong 2021.

I thought an Adames trade for one of the pitchers would work but if they are selling that doesn't make sense.

Maybe Weimer/Mitchell for Cabrera and they send Jazz back to the IF. Probably a couple mid-lower level prospects for Rogers at best.

I’d be interested in Josh Bell if the Marlins kick in a bit.
