Dillon Head Headlines Marlins Prospect Return From Padres
The Miami Marlins sent All-Star second baseman Luis Arraez to the San Diego Padres on Friday night in exchange for outfield prospects Dillon Head, Jakob Marsee and Nathan Martorella, and relief pitcher Woo-Suk Go, according to a source. With Arraez now gone in Miami, Vidal Brujan should take over everyday duties at second base. Head, who was San Diego's No. 6 prospect, is just 19 years old and was hitting .237/.317/.366 in 104 plate appearances in Single-A. The left-handed hitter's main calling card is his speed after being taken 25th overall in last year's draft, but he's still at least several years from a big-league debut. Marsee, 22, was San Diego's No. 9 prospect. He's struggled at Double-A in 2024, but the left-handed hitter could be fast-tracked in Miami's farm system along with Head. Martorella, 23, can also play first base. He was ranked as SD's No. 13 prospect He also hits from the left side and was slashing a strong .294/.392/.435 with 14 RBI at Double-A San Antonio before the trade.
