The Phillies and Marlins have reached a trade that sends All-Star catcher J.T. Realmuto to Philadelphia for catcher Jorge Alfaro, pitching prospects Sixto Sanchez and Will Stewart, and an international bonus slot, the teams announced Thursday.

How's The Captain going to spin this one?

 

Why would he need to "spin" this?

 

They weren't going to be competitive with Realmuto and from what I've read they got some pretty good prospects for him.

Because all that the handful of Marlins fans left have ever seen of late is dealing their best players away before FA. This is a very telling article. Out of their all time top 25 in WAR, 23 were traded before FA. The other two were AJ Burnett, who they were trying to trade, and Jose Fernandez.
