MIA / PHI

[Marlins (Chris)]

Marlins trade:

Robert Gasser P MIL
Spencer Horwitz 1B TOR
Pick 5.6 2024

Phillies Trade:

Byron Buxton OF MIN
Everson Pereira OF NYY

[Phillies (Matt W)]

Phillies accept. Buxton can't catch a break, but hopefully he's able to help Chris out next year. Periera has plenty of pop and speed, but I have questions about the hit tool. He's also blocked in NY for the foreseeable future unless he can get traded or someone in front gets injured. Plenty of talent and if he can figure it out, I could eventually regret this one.

Horwitz is also blocked, this time by Vladdy in Toronto, but I love the bat to ball skills if he can get a chance to play. Needed a bit of 1st base depth, and he fills that gap for me. And Gasser is an arm that is big league ready. Thinking he may get a shot with the Brewers this year, and with his pitch mix and command I think he can stick around as a mid-bottom rotation arm for a while. Always liked his profile.

Thanks, Chris!
