Could the Miami Marlins and Cincinnati Reds hook up on a potential blockbuster trade before the MLB trade deadline?

Kyle Stowers swatted his 22nd home run of the season — an MLB-best 12th since June 22. He now has eight homers in July, putting him four shy of Giancarlo Stanton’s club record set in 2017.

Jackson Merrill and Martín Maldonado had run-scoring hits in the second inning and the San Diego Padres held on to beat the Miami Marlins 2-1.

Jim Bowden, former MLB general manager and insider for The Athletic, recently reported that "expect them to trade relievers like Ronny Henriquez and Calvin Faucher if they get the right prospect return."

The Miami Marlins today completed the 2025 First-Year Player Draft, making 17 selections on Day 2. All of Miami’s 21 selections in this year’s draft came from the collegiate ranks, including 11 position players and 11 pitchers.

The MLB trade deadline is now less than 10 days away, so it should only be a matter of time before rumors start turning into action.

Left-handed outfielder Kyle Stowers is in his first full season as a member of the Miami Marlins. The 27-year-old breakout star was originally selected by the Baltimore Orioles in the second round of the 2019 MLB Draft.
