The Miami Marlins

The Miami Marlins are another team that is in dead last, as they are on pace for more than 100 losses.

Realistically, the Rockies could use two of their main pieces but if they had to choose one, I would say that the Rockies should go for Justin Bour.

This season, Bour has had a batting average that is a bit lower than his usual but the other two numbers in his slash are good. He has a slash of .234/.374/.433, which is good enough for a 131 OPS+. He has 10 home runs and 24 RBI, which puts him on pace for 30 HRs and 71 RBI. He is also on pace for 112 walks this season.

That is a vast improvement over Ian Desmond at first base. Additionally, Bour is only making a total of $3.4 million this year and is arbitration eligible for the next two seasons.

Catcher JT Realmuto is another good option for the Rockies, as he has a .313/.373/.535 slash (151 OPS+) in 159 plate appearances. He also has two more years of team control after this season.
