The San Diego Padres are acquiring two-time All-Star Luis Arraez from the Miami Marlins in a blockbuster trade.
On Friday night, ESPN's Jeff Passan reported the Padres were nearing a blockbuster deal to acquire second baseman Luis Arraez from the Miami Marlins . The package will include three prospects and a relief pitcher, per Passan.
This year, though, the wheels have fallen off for Miami. They've started the season 9-24, and are well on their way to being full-on sellers this season. This trade in early May is likely the start of things to come. This year, Arraez is slashing .299/.347/.372 with zero home runs and nine extra-base hits. However, he'll now be joining a contender, which should help increase those numbers drastically.
