2 trade candidates the Phillies should consider from the Marlins, 1 they should avoid

The Miami Marlins pitching staff suffered a major blow at the end of the 2023 season. Sandy Alcantara underwent Tommy John surgery and will be out for the entirety of 2024.

Already without Alcantara coming into 2024, the Marlins suffered another loss to their starting rotation with the long-term injury to Eury Pérez. After experiencing elbow soreness, the 20-year-old right-hander was shut down late in spring training and underwent Tommy John surgery for a right UCL tear on April 8. He'll miss the 2024 season and part of next year.

Starters Edward Cabrera (right shoulder impingement) and Braxton Garrett (left shoulder impingement) each began the regular season on the injured list. Jake Burger, who leads Miami with 15 RBI, suffered an oblique ailment and the club placed him on the IL before their April 15 contest.

Miami has not done well early in the season. The club lost its first nine games and is currently 4-15, 9.0 games back in the NL East. The dreadful start looks to have already impacted how well they will do this year. The Marlins could be sellers by the trade deadline (subscription required), according to Ken Rosenthal and Dennis Lin of The Athletic.

Would the Philadelphia Phillies have an interest in trading for any available candidates the Marlins decide to listen to offers for? What needs does the club currently have, even with a relatively healthy roster?

Rumored trade targets such as Luis Arraez, Jazz Chisholm, Jr., and Jesús Luzardo, as anticipated by CBS Sports' R.J. Anderson, are valuable but don't fit the Phillies' positional needs due to their already stacked roster. Miami will be looking for a haul of young prospects in a deal for each of these players.

Who should the Phillies consider targeting from the division rival Marlins, and should they avoid?
