     The Miami Marlins have traded utility player Vidal Brujan to the Chicago Cubs for first baseman Matt Mervis. Brujan was designated for assignment by the Fish last week. 

     Brujan played 2024 with the Marlins following three seasons on the Tampa Bay Rays. He finished with two home runs, 16 runs batted in and a .222 batting average in 102 games with Miami. 

     Mervis spent some time with the Cubs in 2023 and 2024. He had three home runs, 14 runs batted in and a .155 batting average over 36 contests in two seasons while with Chicago.
