The Padres traded Marsee, Dillon Head, Woo-suk Go and Nathan Martorella to the Marlins on Friday in exchange for Luis Arraez, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
Marsee got off to a hot start at Double-A when he arrived in San Antonio near the end of last season, but he has struggled to get going in 2024, slashing .185/.337/.333 with five RBI across 103 plate appearances. He'll likely remain in Double-A as he moves to the Marlins' farm system, but a return to form at the plate could warrant a promotion to Triple-A Jacksonville before the end of the year.

Padres' Jakob Marsee: Keeps hitting at Double-A
Rotowire
Marsee is slashing .294/.478/.471 with one home run and two stolen bases in six games since being promoted from High-A Fort Wayne to Double-A San Antonio on Tuesday.
Marsee was elevated to Double-A along with two of the Padres' other top position prospects, catcher Ethan Salas and first baseman Nathan Martorella. Despite the jump in competition, the 22-year-old outfielder has continued to excel early on at San Antonio, reaching base at least twice in all five of his starts thus far.
