In addition to Marmolejos, the Reds receive the benefit of Osvaldo Duarte and left shooter José Manuel Fernández, versus right-wing David Paulino, Jeison Guzmán, and picking the eighth round of the upcoming Lidom Rookie Draw.

Marmulius, 28, is a member of the Seattle Mariners, with whom he made his league debut in 2020. His performance was six home runs in 107 at-bats, including 18 RBIs and .411 slugging.

In his Minors’ life, the left hitter mustered a .288 / .354 / .448 offensive line with 72 homers, 469 RBIs and 215 doubles in nine seasons.

The 25-year-old Duarte, who has the ability to play multiple centers on and off the field, only started in 18 matches on the Creole circuit, having been drafted in Round Two (Pick 12) in the 2016 Rookie Draw.
