The Miami Marlins have traded corner infielder Jake Burger to the Texas Rangers, with prospects Echedry Vargas, Max Acosta, and Brayan Mendoza heading to Miami. Burger had a solid 2024 season, hitting .250 with 29 home runs and 76 RBI.

The Marlins, undergoing a significant roster overhaul, decided to move Burger as he didn't align with their rebuilding timeline. Despite not having a guaranteed starting position in Texas, he could see considerable playing time, potentially as the designated hitter.
