Transaction Oracle— A Timely Look at Transactions as They Happen

Marlins - Acquired Kim
Florida Marlins - Acquired P Byung-Hyun Kim from the Colorado Rockies for P Jorge Julio.
With the ZiPS Quarterpole DMB update almsot done, it’s time to get back down to bidness.
Kim clearly isn’t the pitcher that he used to be before his arm problems, so the idea of trading him for Jorge Julio isn’t as laughable as it would have been 3 or 4 years ago. I’ll still take Kim as he can occasionally get a few right-handers in a row out still while Julio’s always a disaster waiting to happen. Julio to even a humidor-laden Coors Field may not be pretty - opposing batters will love sitting dead red on his very fast, very straight fastball with no movement. Kim will replace Wes Obermueller in the rotation for the Marlins, the latter being one of the few starters around that Kim will probably be a clear upgrade on, Obermueller’s sorta-okay performance tehis season notwithstanding.

It does kinda suck that the Marlins essentially gave up Yusmeiro Petit for a month of sucky Jorge Julio and five months of BH Kim.
