Marlins/Diamdbacks

[Arizona Diamondbacks]

After a relatively easy negotiation the Marlins & D-Backs have agreed to the following trade...


Marlins get...
   Oscar Gonzalez, RF, Guardians  23/0.75M  24/1M  25/ARB1  26/ARB2  27/ARB3  28/UFA
   Xavier Edwards, SS, Marlins  23/0.25M  Prospect
   Prelander Berroa, SP, Mariners  23/0.2M  Prospect


D-Backs get...
   Cal Quantrill, SP, Guardians  23/7.5M  24/UFA

For us this was about getting a 4th SP from the same staff, which is one of the best in baseball. In these leagues we feel that is big. Quantrill has steadily improved, and we don't think he is done. Could be a key piece for us getting back to the playoffs.

Hated giving up Gonzalez, the kid showed last year he can hit. Berroa is a kid we see as a very solid prospect and we think Edwards gets a shot in Miami this year.

Thanks to Lance for the deal and the easy negotiations. Good luck and nice to have you here!

[Miami Marlins]

Agree to the deal.

For us this was about getting some good quality and quantity for a guy who is solid but could get pricey quick in arbitration. Easily get 3+ years from Gonzalez and a couple good prospects who may or may not pan out but like that they are also fairly close to getting their shots at the majors.

Thanks Donnie and good luck!
