The Philadelphia Phillies have made a significant move by acquiring left-handed pitcher Jesús Luzardo from the Miami Marlins. This trade involved sending young prospects, shortstop Starlyn Caba and outfielder Emaarion Boyd, to Miami.
Luzardo, who has battled injuries throughout his career, showcased his potential in 2023 with a solid 3.58 ERA over 178 ⅔ innings. With Luzardo joining a strong rotation, the Phillies aim to bolster their pitching staff amid a quiet offseason.
The Marlins, under new president of baseball operations Peter Bendix, are in the midst of a rebuild, having traded several key players. Their recent performance has not been promising, as they finished the season with a 62-100 record.
