Sixto Sanchez

Sixto Sanchez traded to Marlins in Realmuto deal

The Miami Marlins have acquired top prospect Sixto Sanchez from the Phillies as part of a package for J.T. Realmuto.

Fantasy Impact

Miami also received catcher Jorge Alfaro and pitching prospect Will Stewart. Sanchez was the prize of the trade, however, as he was recently ranked as the 13th best prospect in baseball by Baseball America. The 20-year-old has posted a 2.48 ERA across 221 1/3 minor league innings in his career. He has the upside of a number one starter but there are concerns due to his height (5'10") and frame.
