The Miami Marlins, nestled in the playoff race, took full advantage of the trade deadline to set themselves up for a run at the postseason this year while keeping their focus on long-term sustainability. They acquired the top position player available in Diamondbacks outfielder Starling Marte in exchange for a pair of starting pitchers and traded Jonathan Villar to the Blue Jays for another top prospect in Griffin Conine (son of Mr. Marlin Jeff Conine). Jordan McPherson and Andre Fernandez break down the trades and what they mean for the Marlins in the short- and long-term as well as take a look at the Marlins' season to this point now that they've reached the halfway point.
