The Miami Marlins face their former second baseman for the first time since an early May trade to the San Diego Padres
It’s safe to say the early May trade with the San Diego Padres that shipped out second baseman Luis Arraez wasn’t very popular with fans of the Miami Marlins.
But despite the move, which felt like the Marlins giving up on the 2024 season just 33 games in, Miami’s gone 10-9 since the trade and is on a streak of winning four straight series after taking two out of three from the defending NL Champion Arizona Diamondbacks in Chase Field over the weekend. Miami’s offense is actually improved since shipping out their leadoff hitter in Arraez, with the runs per game up from 3.6 pre-trade to 3.9 post-trade.
Another beneficiary of the open defensive spot vacated by Arraez is Otto López. Acquired off of waivers in early April, the 25-year-old has started fifteen of the team’s twenty post-Arraez matchups, batting .289 with twelve RBI and five extra-base hits during that span.
