Marlins Trade Jake Burger

     The Miami Marlins have traded third baseman Jake Burger to the Texas Rangers for a couple of players. The Fish will get pitcher Brayan Mendoza along with infielders Echedry Vargas and Max Acosta. 

     Burger was acquired by the Marlins from the Chicago White Sox in August 2023. He contributed to Miami reaching the National League Playoffs in a complete 162-game season for the first time since 2003. Burger had 29 home runs, 76 runs batted in and a .250 batting average in 2024.
