Marlins Swap Choi to Rays for Margot: According to BNN there were mixed emotions by the players involved in the trade between the Miami Marlins and the Tampa Bay Rays. As part of the deal, the Marlins swapped 20-year old minor league 1B Dave Doran, 23-year old minor league LHP Wilgenis Alvarado, and 23-year old RHP Hyun-il Choi to the Rays getting 25-year old minor league 3B Ronnie Funderburk, 29-year old CF Manuel Margot, and 32-year old LHP Ryan Yarbrough in return. The players indicated it was good to get a fresh new start in another city, but it was difficult to leave your friends on the old team.
Tampa Bay will retain a portion of Margot's remaining contract.
Margot has chalked up a career batting average of .255 with 786 hits, 86 homers and 322 RBIs.
