I appreciate the thought you put into these. From a Marlins perspective, I would completely disagree about the potential fit of Ballesteros. Miami is fully set at both catcher and DH for the foreseeable future between Joe Mack, Agustin Ramirez and Liam Hicks. There's too much redundancy with Ballesteros, even if his talent is remarkable.

Marlins fans are rejoicing about this one. Surprised to see any sort of player return for Bruján, much less somebody who could be an immediate MLB contributor. Matthew could be absolutely right about unrealized Bruján upside, but from watching him regularly last season, I was underwhelmed by everything he did outside of swing decisions. Doesn't really have the awareness/feel for the game that you want at premium defensive positions.
