The San Diego Padres are finalizing a trade to acquire two-time batting champion and second baseman Luis Arraez from the Miami Marlins. In exchange, the Marlins will receive prospects Dillon Head, Jacob Marsee, Nathan Martorella, and reliever Woo-Suk Go. This significant early-season move has been reported by multiple sources, including ESPN's Jeff Passan, who noted that the deal is currently under medical review but is expected to be finalized soon. Arraez is expected to mostly serve as a designated hitter (DH) for the Padres. The trade has sparked discussions regarding the strategic directions of both teams, with the Padres aiming to bolster their lineup and the Marlins focusing on building future talent.
When you lose the Padre because of a trade to the Padres, that's not ideal. https://t.co/mBEfrrzKCr
Arraez is sitting in the #Marlins dugout awaiting word on when all the paperwork is finalized. Time to see what else is on. @ManOn2nd
Luis Arráez is still in the Marlins dugout and getting hugs from his teammates as reports surfaced that he has been traded. https://t.co/lNdZXLBuYH
LUIS ARRAEZ TRADED REACTION https://t.co/OZTbDm6w64 https://t.co/99tr9nJpg8
Arraez is obviously a special contact hitter; it's fun that the guy who's basically Present Day Tony Gwynn goes to SD. But SD hasn't had problems scoring runs (3rd most entering day). They've had a ton of problems preventing runs. So, interesting they'd use prospects in this way
The Padres are reportedly in line to acquire Luis Arráez in a trade with the Marlins https://t.co/wEtJ9upi8W
I imagine Luis Arraez will get the bulk of his time at DH, but the Padres can rotate guys through there given the versatility of their infield. Arraez (1B/2B), Jake Cronenworth (1B/2B), Xander Bogaerts (2B/SS) and Ha-Seong Kim (SS/3B/2B) can all easily handle multiple positions.
The Padres are reportedly trading for Luis Arráez! Since 2022, only Freddie Freeman has had more hits than Arráez. 👀 #MLB | #Padres https://t.co/7N6QHPnu89
Today the #Padres reportedly acquired IF Luis Arraez ($5.3M surplus trade value) from the #Marlins in exchange for OFs Dillon Head ($8.9M) and Jakob Marsee ($5.7M), 1B Nathan Martorella ($4.2M) and RHP Woo-Suk Go ($0.7M). Deal is rejected by our model.
Hyphen in the wrong place there (after initially misspelling the last name to "Goo")... Should be Woo-Suk Go. Go signed in January, began the season in the minors, and got traded just a couple months in... https://t.co/ZB7S98EgNN
Dillon Head, Woo Suk-Go, Jakob Marsee, and Nathan Martorella are headed to Miami, per @CraigMish. https://t.co/0TEGxcTfOZ

The Miami Marlins acquiring OF Dillon Head, OF Jacob Marsee and 1B Nathan Martorella for Luis Arraez is an absolute haul. They ranked No. 9, 11 and 16 on my @FSS_PLUS preseason Padres Top 30. Head and Marsee both grade out as Role 45 prospects. They’ll be big league regulars.

Marlins have one consistent hitter and all-star. And they just traded him. Not sure how they sell this one to fans. They just traded a guy who has won back-to-back batting titles. Good luck with that. https://t.co/fJklMQfqaz

Poor Donovan Solano. Maybe he'll get his release and another team will want him. Arraez will presumably mostly DH for the Padres, now that Machado can play third. The Marlins will surely give Xavier Edwards a long look once he's back from his foot infection.
