Marlins Acquire David Robertson In Trade
9 months agoThe Miami Marlins have traded for New York Mets relief pitcher David Robertson in exchange for infielder Marco Vargas, Miami's No. 18 prospect, and catcher Ronald Hernandez, their No. 21 prospect. It initially comes off as a rather underwhelming haul on New York's end for one of the top relievers available on the market, and the Marlins significantly augment their bullpen with the move. Robertson teams up with southpaw A.J. Puk to presumably function as co-closers for the Fish depending on matchup. The overall fantasy value of both high-leverage arms may slightly diminish, as they figure to split save opportunities. As for the Mets, their disappointing season seems to have forced the organization to become deadline sellers. Adam Ottavino is well worth an add off waiver wires as the club's new potential favorite for saves on the depth chart alongside Brooks Raley, who is also worth a look in deeper leagues after nabbing Thursday night's save.
