The Florida Marlins should make some small moves at the trade deadline

The Florida Marlins need to keep most of the team going into the new stadium next year. But, I think they should deal some of the older guys in the bullpen for some young players with upside. First off, I would be calling the Detroit Tigers and I would offer them righty reliever Brian Sanches for 2B Will Rhymes and rookie shortstop Dixon Machado. I would then turn around and deal lefty reliever Randy Choate and righty reliever Burke Badenhop to the Milwaukee Brewers for rookie 3B Taylor Green. Green would immdiately become the everyday 3B for the Marlins for the rest of this season. Rhymes could compete for P.T. at 2B right away too. The beautiful thing about these deals is that Sanches, Badenhop and Choate weren’t likely to be on the Marlins next year anyways.
