Jesus Luzardo

PHI Starting Pitcher #44

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Phillies acquired LHP Jesús Luzardo and C Paul McIntosh from the Marlins for SS Starlyn Caba and OF Emaarion Boyd.

The Phillies cash in one of their best prospects here in the hopes that Luzardo will stay healthy after a 2024 season in which he missed time early with elbow soreness and later was shut down for the year because of a stress reaction in his back. He’s expected to have a normal spring, so for now anyway, the Phillies rotation is full, leaving Taijuan Walker apparently bullpen bound and Andrew Painter to toil in the minors for a spell. Luzardo was terrific in 2023, finishing with a 3.58 ERA and 208 strikeouts in 178 2/3 innings, and it looked like he had the potential to do even better going forward. The Phillies will have him for two seasons before he becomes eligible for free agency.
Paul McIntosh

PHI Catcher

Catcher Paul McIntosh was sent from the Marlins to the Phillies in the Jesús Luzardo trade.

The Phillies face the possibility of losing the out-of-options Rafael Marchán if they don’t carry him as their backup catcher over Garrett Stubbs, so some extra depth is welcome. McIntosh, 27, has a decent enough bat, but he hasn’t proven strong enough defensively to earn consideration for backup gigs yet. He was passed over in the Rule 5 draft earlier this month.
Starlyn Caba

MIA Shortstop

Marlins acquired SS Starlyn Caba and OF Emaarion Boyd from the Phillies for LHP Jesús Luzardo and C Paul McIntosh.

Having just turned 19 this month, Caba is a work in progress offensively, but he’s a legit shortstop, giving the Marlins another strong prospect at the position to go along with Jared Serna, who was acquired from the Yankees in the Jazz Chisholm Jr. trade, and 2024 second-round pick Carter Johnson. The switch-hitter came in at .228/.385/.284 with 50 steals in 78 games between Rookie ball (52 games) and low-A ball (26 games) last season.
Emaarion Boyd

MIA Outfielder

Outfielder Emaarion Boyd was traded from the Phillies to the Marlins in a four-player deal.

Boyd, 21, was an 11th-round pick out of high school in 2022. In two seasons since, he’s posted lines of .262/.366/.324 in low-A and .239/.417/.331 in high-A and stolen a total of 83 bases in 187 games. His defense isn’t particularly well regarded, and he doesn’t figure to add a whole lot of power, so he doesn’t currently project as a starting outfielder.
Vidal Brujan

MIA Second Baseman #17

Marlins designated INF Vidal Brujan for assignment.

The Marlins needed to clear a spot on their 40-man roster to sign Eric Wagaman on Friday and unfortunately the 26-year-old former top prospect was the roster casualty. Brujan hit just .222/.303/.319 with two homers, 16 RBI, five stolen bases and a 54/25 K/BB ratio in 278 plate appearances with the Fish. He’s still talented enough that there’s probably another team willing to take a chance on him.
Eric Wagaman

MIA First Baseman #34

Marlins signed INF Eric Wagaman to a one-year contract.

So it is an actual MLB contract. Interesting. No financial details were announced yet, but it’s expected to be for around the league minimum. The 27-year-old will fight for a spot in the team’s Opening Day starting lineup to begin the 2025 campaign, though his fantasy appeal seems limited.
Eric Wagaman

FA First Baseman #34

Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase reports that the Marlins have agreed to a one-year contract with free agent infielder Eric Wagaman.

The expectation had been that Wagaman would have to settle for a minor league contract, so it’ll be interesting to see if it’s actually a major league deal or some sort of split contract when the Marlins ultimately announce it. For his part, the 27-year-old held his own during his time with the Angels during the 2024 season — slashing .250/.270/.403 with a pair of homers, 10 RBI and a 17/2 K/BB ratio in 74 plate appearances.
Jesus Luzardo

MIA Starting Pitcher #44

WSCR-AM’s Bruce Levine reported that the Cubs trade discussions involving LHP Jesus Luzardo are “dead.”

Levine suggested that medical reviews could have been the obstacle in the talks but also didn’t specify whether it was medical concerns over Luzardo or one of the potential prospects heading to Miami. The teams could certainly strike up a discussion again, but, at this point, it seems like nothing is imminent.
Jesus Luzardo

MIA Starting Pitcher #44

The Cubs and Marlins are discussing a Jesús Luzardo deal, with James Triantos or Owen Caissie likely going to Miami.

Luzardo seems risky after dealing with elbow and back injuries in a 2024 season in which he posted a 5.00 ERA in 12 starts, but he was excellent in finishing with a 3.58 ERA and 208 strikeouts in 178 2/3 innings in 2023. Triantos and Caissie are fine prospects and would be candidates to help out next year if traded. Triantos would probably step in at second base sometime next summer, whereas Caissie would have a chance to win a corner outfield gig in spring training.
Jesus Luzardo

MIA Starting Pitcher #44

According to Bob Nightengale of USA Today, the Cubs have expressed interest in acquiring Marlins’ left-hander Jesús Luzardo.

The Cubs already made a franchise-altering move on Friday by acquiring superstar outfielder Kyle Tucker from the Astros and it doesn’t look like they are done. Nightengale notes that they have also been busy on the trade front attempting to move Cody Bellinger so stay tuned as there could be more moves to come shortly.
