Discover just about any primer for the 2024 commerce deadline and you may see Jesus Luzardo‘s identify at or close to the highest of the dialogue. He is most likely even the function picture on a lot of these items. It isn’t laborious to see why. A tough-throwing 26-year-old lefty with two seasons of membership management past the present marketing campaign and large strikeout talents is at all times going to be in demand. And the Marlins, sitting at 23-48 on the season, have successfully been out of postseason competition for the reason that second week of the season. A 1-12 begin to the yr will try this to you.
Luzardo may be probably the most talked-about identify on the commerce market this summer season and has a much better probability to maneuver than your commonplace prime-aged beginning pitcher with two-plus seasons of membership management. The Marlins already traded Luis Arraez in early Could, in any case. They’re clearly open for enterprise.
Practically the whole lot I simply stated about Luzardo applies to a different lefty on the alternative coast. And but for all of the Luzardo chatter we have already heard and can proceed to listen to, the commerce buzz between the 2 southpaws does not align.
