The Miami Marlins are already being scouted by other teams for upgrades at the deadline
Despite their relative success in May, where they’ve gone 9-10 and won two consecutive series against the Detroit Tigers and New York Mets, the team’s still trying to dig out of the 7-24 hole they dug in March and April. They’re stuck 19.5 games back in the National League East and have a -83 run differential, the 2nd-worst figure in baseball behind only the 15-34 Chicago White Sox .
Scott is the one that Bowden will be the “most sought-after” in trade talks, owing to his performance so far: 1.80 ERA and five saves in twenty innings so far. None of the other relievers even get a mention in the positional breakdown, which is understandable given that Declan Cronin is the only other reliever with an ERA below 3.50 and he’s still team-controlled for five additional seasons after this one.
However, he’s pitched well in his first two starts back, striking out eight and walking two in 5 2/3 innings against the Phillies, then striking out seven and walking none in six scoreless innings versus the Mets. If Luzardo pitches well between now and the deadline, he’s the Marlin most likely to be traded.
For positon players, Bowden’s not really impressed with the options here, although he does mention Bell as a candidate to get moved.
