It was a relatively quiet day in South Florida for the team that made more deals than any other last deadline. Gusto is a nice get for a player in Sánchez who clearly wasn’t considered an integral part of the next good Marlins team. Most notably, Miami chose not to trade starters Sandy Alcantara and Edward Cabrera, both of whom were heavily mentioned in rumors all month. Without knowing the details, I like that decision. It shows me that president of baseball operations Peter Bendix isn’t out here to trade for the sake of it.
