"Right around the time the Miami Marlins were working on their first World Series winning season, I spent a couple weeks at a basketball camp headed by a coach who stressed the virtue of always hustling. Didn't matter how good or bad you were at a particular skill- you could always hustle. To be clear, this was about the only athletic advice I was able to consistently follow that summer."
"Sadly, his time with the Marlins has come to an end. Myers was dealt to the Cincinnati Reds Saturday afternoon for a prospect. The biggest takeaway here for the Miami Marlins is probably, as Craig Mish noted after breaking the news of the trade, that it clears a space on the 40-man roster. Considering the team needed to move someone to add newly signed closer Pete Fairbanks to the roster, this transaction checks that box on Miami's to do list."
Dane Myers became known for his heart and hustle, frequently running the bases and crashing into outfield walls. Myers was traded to the Cincinnati Reds for a prospect, bringing his time with the Miami Marlins to an end. The trade clears a 40-man roster spot that the Marlins needed to add newly signed closer Pete Fairbanks. Many fans expected a less effective reliever such as Josh Simpson to be moved instead. Myers remained one of the dwindling 40-man roster members not aligned with Peter Bendix, and the rise of Jakob Marsee limited Myers' chances for regular playing time.
