MIAMI (AP) â Buried in last place in the NL East, the Miami Marlins made an impact on the AL West race with two trades Wednesday.
Miami sent right-handed reliever Yimi GarcÃa to the Houston Astros, and traded outfielder Starling Marte to the Oakland Athletics.
The Astros sent outfielder Bryan De La Cruz and right-hander Austin Pruitt to Miami. First-place Houston began the day with a six-game lead over Oakland in the AL West.
Oakland gave up left-hander Jesús Luzardo for Marte. The Marlins will cover nearly all of Marte s remaining contract for 2021, and he can become a free agent after this season.
