The Marlins and Padres are nearing a rare early-season blockbuster trade.
Miami is closing in on a deal that would send Luis Arraez to the Padres for three prospects, ESPN’s Jeff Passan first reported Friday night.
Per The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal, the Marlins are getting prospects Dillon Head, Woo Suk-Go, Jakob Marsee and Nathan Martorella in return.
Arraez, who led the majors with a .354 batting average last year, has a .299/.347/.372 slash line this season in 33 games.
The Marlins entered Friday’s play at 9-24, the worst mark in the National League East.
Without Juan Soto, the Padres at 16-18 and in second place in the NL West.
