It took a little doing, but I found my heir to the Marlins SS throne. There is some risk with Mayer's hit tool but he's shown a knack of performing at each level and I expect that to continue as he marches on his way to Boston. Marte and Smeltzer merely help with balancing the salary.

Thanks to those that inquired!

Thank you Dan. Red Sox accept. Players dropped.

The list of scenarios where I’d trade Marcelo Mayer is - née, was - short. A star SS under 3+ years of control, who was a top 5 overall hitter several years running before a cold first half to open his Philly tenure limited him to a lowly 24th - that’s a guy worth it to me. I was sad to see Trea get moved earlier this Mibble offseason, but when he was back on the block I had to go for it. Marte has some injury risk but he’s only a couple years removed from #1 CF performance. And Smeltzer - he can provide some innings but more useful atm to Miami than me.
