The Marlins acquire Joey Wendle from the Rays for minor league player Kameron Misner.

He primarily plays third base but has started at second base and shortstop as well in addition to nine career starts in left field, setting himself up for a super-utility role with the Marlins who have Brian Anderson as their primary third baseman, Miguel Rojas at shortstop and Jazz Chisholm Jr. at second base.

The Marlins get a decent utility player for an outfielder who gets on base. Misner plays 2022 as a 24 year-old, and it seems losing a minor league season to the pandemic kept him in the low minors too long. He hasn’t shown much power yet, but I suspect the Rays see him as a good table setter. He is 37 for 41 stealing bases.
