FanPost Friday: Should the Marlins trade Christian Yelich and/or J.T. Realmuto?

Ed. note: Many sites around SB Nation host FanPost Fridays, and we’re joining the fray here at Fish Stripes, because we want to give you the chance to have your voice be heard in long-form style.

Every friday, we’ll post a FanPost prompt to pen type a response to (well, you could pen it, but there’s no guarantee it’ll reach the interwebs). All you have to do to participate is click on the FanPosts button at the top of the blog (next to the site icon) and then select new FanPost, and voila! It’s fairly straightforward, but please feel free to reach out to me (email or twitter is fine, both listed in my profile) if you ever have any questions about the FanPost process.

If a FanPost is well-written enough, we may decide to promote it to the front page and spread it around on our social media channels, seriously amplifying your awesome opinion’s reach. So, what are you waiting for? Get to it!

FanPost Friday prompt: Should the Marlins trade Christian Yelich and/or J.T. Realmuto?

Last week’s prompt: Who is your favorite prospect?

While the rest of baseball has been sluggishly plowing forward on a glacier, the Marlins have been riding the crest of a wave, making one bombshell move after another. Recent rumblings suggest a trio of NL East teams (amongst others) might be heavily involved in snatching not just one but two of Miami’s remaining prize offensive pieces in the form of Christian Yelich and J.T. Realmuto.

Standard good headlining practices tend to dissuade one from leading with a question that can be answered with a simple yes or no, but I find that, as with most things in life, things are never quite so simple.

I would say yes if someone asked me if I liked cheese, for example, but if they proceeded to put a plate of bleu cheese in front of me, I’d be disgusted.

In this fashion, your answer to the baseball question posed above may vary, depending upon the potential answer, and that’s where we’d like to see some explanation from you.

Do you think it’s wise to trade either or both players at this juncture? If not, why? Do you hold onto them for the rebuild? What kind of package from the Atlanta Braves/Philadelphia Phillies/Washington Nationals/Chicago Cubs/insert a team would entice you enough to pull the trigger?

Remember, there are no wrong answers in this theoretical exercise. Follow the instructions from above, or click here to begin!
