Miami Marlins Insider Puts Kyle Stowers Trade Rumors to Bed Following All-Star Break

In this story:
The Miami Marlins have made a habit of trading away key pieces over the past year, from Luis Arráez, Bryan De La Cruz and Tanner Scott to Jazz Chisholm Jr., Jesús Luzardo and Jake Burger – just to name a few.
That pattern could continue in 2025, but Kyle Stowers won't be among the players shipped out of town this time around.
According to SportsGrid's Craig Mish, the Marlins will not be trading Stowers prior to the July 31 deadline. The 27-year-old outfielder, who is fresh off his first career All-Star appearance, is currently batting .298 with 21 home runs, 13 doubles, three triples, 48 runs, 59 RBIs, four stolen bases, a .935 OPS and a 2.8 WAR through 92 games this season.
Stowers has hit five home runs in his last two games alone, more than proving his worth in the middle of Miami's lineup.
The Miami Marlins will not be trading Kyle Stowers. The deadline will certainly have it’s fair share of rumors and discussions but he will not be a player they move.

The Marlins actually acquired Stowers at last summer's deadline, bringing him and infielder Connor Norby back from the Baltimore Orioles in exchange for former All-Star starting pitcher Trevor Rogers.
Stowers was once one of the Orioles' top prospects, ranking No. 8 in their system prior to his MLB debut in 2022. He appeared in 67 big league games for Baltimore over the next three seasons, batting .229 with a .643 OPS and -0.3 WAR before hitting .186 with a .556 OPS and -0.7 WAR in 50 games with Miami to round out 2024.
Those struggles seem to be firmly in Stowers' rear-view mirror, given his gaudy production so far in 2025. He is under team control through the end of the 2029 campaign as well, so he is set to be a key piece of the Marlins' rebuild moving forward.
