The Miami Marlins are expected to make some moves before the MLB trade deadline, but based on how well they have been playing and on all of the club control they own over most of their intriguing trade assets, they may not sell off as many players as most seem to believe.

Pitching remains Chicago’s top priority at the trade deadline, according to league sources briefed on the club’s wide-ranging search, which includes everyone from rental players, such as Arizona Diamondbacks starters Zac Gallen and Merrill Kelly, to potential closers to All-Star performers under club control who are viewed as unlikely to be moved.
