ARRAEZ MOVED TO THE MARLINS
The Miami Marlins acquired infielder Luis Arraez from the Minnesota Twins for pitcher Pablo Lopez, infielder Jose Salas and outfielder Byron Chourio.
What does it give the Miami Marlins
Arraez is one of the best contact hitters in MLB today, and his positional versatility is also a major asset. That said, expect Arraez to play mainly at first base for the Marlins in 2023.
What does it give the Minnesota Twins
Lopez adds quality depth to Minnesota's starting rotation, while Salas and Chourio are long-range prospects included in this trade. Minnesota has the talent to offset losing Arraez.
Fantasy impact
Arraez is a solid fantasy player; he is not a huge power source, but he rarely hurts fantasy teams. Lopez is a solid fantasy pitcher regardless of the team he plays for, while the two prospects included in this deal are years away from becoming relevant in fantasy leagues.
