Latest Fantasy Rumors
Being discussed
Miami may deal Okert or include him as part of a trade package, reports Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald.
Analysis
The Marlins are in sell mode and Okert should garner considerable interest from contenders looking for a left-handed reliever. The 31-year-old is having his second straight excellent season in Miami, posting a 2.45 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 83:31 K:BB in 69.2 innings since 2021. With still another season before he reaches arbitration, Okert comes without salary-related baggage this season. Given the Marlins appear to be open to dealing virtually anyone on their roster, Okert could be paired with other players as a package deal in a larger trade.
