Miami Marlins & Detroit Tigers Complete Trade

The Miami Marlins and the Detroit Tigers recently completed a trade involving outfielders Jonathan Davis and Brady Allen. The Tigers acquired Davis from the Marlins in exchange for Allen, a promising 23-year-old player.

Allen, who was selected by the Marlins in the fifth round of the 2021 draft, has been making a name for himself at the High-A level this season.

With a batting average of .256, an on-base percentage of .324, and a slugging percentage of .440, Allen has shown potential at the plate, belting three home runs.

Despite not being ranked among the Marlins' top-30 prospects by MLB.com, his performance and young age make him an intriguing addition to the Tigers' roster.

On the other side of the trade, Davis, a 31-year-old outfielder, brings his experience and readiness for the major leagues to the Marlins.

With a career batting average of .185, an on-base percentage of .291, and a slugging percentage of .245 over his five seasons in the big leagues, Davis offers depth to Miami's outfield.
