Marlins change of trade plans with All-Star OF/1B is big news for D-Backs, Guardians

The Miami Marlins are expected to be trade deadline sellers this season, with two potential trade candidates emerging as the most likely options for other teams. According to sources, the Marlins have changed their trade plans with outfielder/first baseman Kyle Stowers, making him available to be traded. This development has caught the attention of teams like the Cleveland Guardians and Arizona Diamondbacks, who are in need of outfield or first base help.

Stowers, a 28-year-old All-Star slugger, has 16 home runs this season and is under control through 2029, making him a valuable asset for any team looking to bolster their offense. Despite a slight drop in performance from a .912 OPS to a .787 OPS this year, Stowers is still projected to draw significant interest from many different clubs as a young, controllable player.

The Marlins could potentially receive a substantial haul for Stowers this summer, as they may be major sellers at the trade deadline.
