If a team is willing to offer a lot in return, Miami would listen.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium mui-m06sf4\">Lopez was among the best hitters in the game this season, leading MLB with 191 hits and delivering a .305 batting average. He was still not a power hitter by any means, with just 11 home runs and 71 RBI, but he put the ball in play and got on base, making him an attractive piece to any big-league team looking for an offensive spark. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium mui-m06sf4\">Edwards was worth three wins above average while hitting .280, with six home runs and 52 RBI.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium mui-m06sf4\">Both are young (28 and 27, respectively) and have plenty of upside, so it is not particularly surprising that the Marlins would listen to offers from teams that would be interested in acquiring them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium mui-m06sf4\">Of course, Miami was on the cusp of playoff contention at times in 2026 and could look to beef up their roster, too, instead of subtracting from it. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium mui-m06sf4\">Jackson wrote, &#8220;The Marlins would look to add established players making in the $10 million to $15 million range through either free agency or through trades. Miami is open to trading some of their good prospects, but not their top prospects.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium mui-m06sf4\">An organization that has proven effective at developing young talent for other teams to come in and trade for or sign in free agency, it is not surprising that they would not look to give up their best prospects in the name of a trade for a more established player or two.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium mui-m06sf4\">Still, adding a player who can produce offensively and is not a liability on the diamond or in the outfield could be the difference between another frustrating campaign in South Beach and a trip back to the playoffs, where they have not been since 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reported on what may be a busy offseason for the Marlins this&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":945791,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[435],"tags":[49,48,462,82],"class_list":["post-945790","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-mlb","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/945790","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=945790"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/945790\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/945791"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=945790"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=945790"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=945790"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
