Marlins Reunite With Former Marlin Luis Arraez in San Diego For Midweek Series Versus Padres 

It's safe to say the early May trade with the San Diego Padres that shipped out second baseman Luis Arraez wasn't very popular with fans of the Miami Marlins. It wasn't very popular with the media, either, with questions being asked of president of baseball operations Peter Bendix about why the Marlins made this trade so early in the season and what the move says to fans about the long-term prospects of the organization. Miami's offense is actually improved since shipping out their leadoff hitter in Arraez, with the runs per game up from 3.6 pre-trade to 3.9 post-trade.
