Inbox: How will Marlins approach Deadline?
Beat reporter Joe Frisaro answers fans' questions
In my opinion, trades conducted after the season usually net better players, compared to making trades in July. What's your take? -- @spitballer9 via Twitter
There's really no right answer. It's case-by-case. It also depends on the objectives of the club. The Marlins are leaning toward being Trade Deadline "sellers," and frankly, that's probably the correct way to go given their place in the standings and need to beef up their farm system. No matter if Jeffrey Loria continues to own the team after the season or new ownership comes in, a realistic overview of the club has to be taken.
