Two Miami Marlins Identified as Top Trade Candidates by Prominent MLB Insider
Briefly

With the July 31 deadline approaching, the Miami Marlins appear positioned to sell veterans and emerging assets to accelerate a rebuild. Jesus Sánchez, 27, ranks as a prime deadline target, combining power, speed and a strong arm with six homers, 27 RBIs, seven stolen bases and a .728 OPS in 51 games. Guardians, Padres and Royals register as potential fits, with Guardians and Royals particularly needing outfield reinforcement. Sánchez also carries multiple years of team control, offering both short-term impact and longer-term upside if a new team can unlock more consistent plate production. Edward Cabrera profiles as a live-armed emerging starter with significant upside.
"The cluster of teams in contention for postseason spots means a limited number of sellers, so finding an outfielder to acquire might be difficult. Sánchez - a hard-hitting right fielder with a strong arm - may be one of the better names available. The 27-year-old has six homers, 27 RBIs, seven stolen bases and a .728 OPS in 51 games this season," wrote Feinsand.
If the Guardians and Royals want to have a shot at making a run before the postseason, both teams must fill their gaping holes in the outfield with a proven player like Sanchez, who could use a change of scenery. From a front-office standpoint, Sánchez offers more than just short-term value-his multiple years of team control make him an intriguing long-term piece.
