Rumors abound in free agency
Free agency is well underway, and most baseball talk is centered around possible transactions, including both signings or trades. Check out our series Deep Sea Fishing wherein we take our best guesses at who is a good fit to help the Marlins take the next step in the rebuild.
We’ve recently discussed Marcell Ozuna, Avisail Garcia, and perhaps most notably, Broward Country native Nicholas Castellanos. Links to each player covered in the series can be at the bottom of each article.

MLB Trade Rumors also gave their take on the possibility of a deal with Castellanos. Another big potential move that has been mentioned is a trade for the Diamondbacks’ David Peralta.
Our latest Fish Bites podcast discusses other possible moves as well as the past decade of Marlins baseball.
