Marlins acquire Martin Prado and David Phelps
The Marlins have acquired infielder Martin Prado and right-handed pitcher David Phelps from the New York Yankees!Prado hit .282 with 26 doubles, 12 home runs and 58 RBI in 143 games in 2014. The Venezuelan native and 2010 All-Star is a career .291 hitter in nine seasons with Atlanta (2006-12), Arizona (2013-14) and the Yankees (2014).
Phelps earned a 4.38 ERA in 32 appearances with New York last season. He established career highs in innings pitched (113.0) and games started (17), and over his three-year Major League career has gone 15-14 with a 4.21 ERA in 87 games (40 starts).
In exchange, the Marlins have sent right-handed pitcher Nathan Eovaldi, first-baseman Garrett Jones and minor league right-handed pitcher Domingo German to New York. We thank Nathan, Garrett and Domingo for their contributions to the #MarlinFamily!
