After having a few days to digest the recent trade<\/a> of Luis Arr\u00e1ez<\/a>, let’s look back at another time the Miami Marlins traded away a star player: Christian Yelich<\/a>. <\/span>During the 2017-2018 offseason, the Marlins traded Yelich to the Milwaukee Brewers. In exchange for their Silver Slugger outfielder, Miami received four prospects. These four were outfielders Lewis Brinson<\/a> and Monte Harrison<\/a>, infielder Isan D\u00edaz<\/a>, and right-hander Jordan Yamamoto<\/a>. Yelich would make an immediate impact in Milwaukee, winning the MVP in 2018 and becoming an All-Star. As for the Marlins side of the deal, the four prospects they acquired all struggled to achieve consistent playing time in the majors. So, where are these four prospects now?<\/span><\/p>\n
