The Marlins scored six runs Tuesday night, but their arms were no match for Braves rookie Ronald Acuña, who hit two home runs, including a leadoff shot for the third straight game. Marlins fans are not going to enjoy having this guy in their division for the next decade. And manager Don Mattingly is probably inclined to agree.

The Fish pulled off another trade, sending Omar Despaigne to the Angels for cash considerations.
Y’all still awake?!

Marlins traded Odrisamer Despaigne to Angels for cash to open a 40-man spot.
Another recent acquisition, Chris Bostick, had to have perfect timing to make his Marlins debut this past Monday. Martin Prado’s injury opened the spot for Bostick in the first place.
In the wake of these transactions, MLB.com gives us the best August deal every made by each team.
For those of you who don’t habla español, Derek Jeter has a solution I wholly applaud.
