With a 97 mile per hour fastball and a 29% strikeout rate, Marlins lefty  is one of the better relievers likely to be dealt today  especially since hes eligible for free agency after the season. But its also worth considering several lower-profile members of the Marlins bullpen, with naming  ,  , and  as trade candidates in an article today.  The Marlins already traded their setup man,  , five days ago. Third in leverage index for manager Skip Schumaker over the last month after Scott and Puk: Brazoban. Brazoban, 35 in October, broke into the Majors with the Fish as a 32-year-old. His fastball sits around 96 miles per hour, and this year hes improved both his strikeout and walk rates to reach 27.2% and 8.8%, respectively. He also has a healthy 50% groundball rate. Team control is perhaps le s exciting for a player soon to turn 35, but Brazoban will not be eligible for arbitration until 2026, and would reach free agency after 2028.  Brazoban has shined over his  Derrel Thomas Jersey last ten appearances, with no runs allowed and a 34.5 K%. He could be just as effective as some of the household names changing teams this month, and hes earning a mere $753K.  Rosenthal also mentioned Bender, a 29-year-old righty who mi sed all of 2023 due to Tommy John surgery. Bender has bounced back from the procedure to post a 3.83 ERA, 24.4 K%, and 7.0 BB%, and 49.1% groundball rate on the season. However, Benders velocity has not returned, as he was at 98.1 prior to surgery and sits at 95.5 this year. His usage suggests hes mostly been outside Schumakers circle of trust this year, but in allowing one run over his last 14 appearances, thats changing. Bender is earning $770K this year as a Super Two player, and hes under team control through 2027.  Cronin, 27 in September, was a from the Astros, who had claimed him . The righty has worked to a solid 25 K%, 7.9 BB%, and 54.2% groundball rate this year, racking up 50 1/3 innings. More than half of his appearances have been more than one inning, and hes been going two-plus often of late. Hes potentially under team control through 2029.  Earlier this month, named Scott,  , and Cronin as potential Marlins bullpen trade candidates, and wouldnt rule out  . Its safe to a sume Marlins president of baseball operations Peter Bendix will be listening today on his entire bullpen, and theres a good chance of more trades. And while this post focused on some new relief names, Rosenthal reminds us that starting pitcher  and left fielder  are candidates to move as well.  Wally Joyner Jersey
