Marlins' Lukas Schiraldi: Heading to Marlins

Schiraldi is joining the Marlins along with Brayan Hernandez, Brandon Miller and Pablo Lopez as part of the David Phelps trade, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.

The 6-foot-6, 210-pound son of former major-league hurler Calvin Schiraldi held a 4.58 ERA with 63 strikeouts and 27 walks in 37.1 innings for High-A Modesto. Jupiter would appear to be his first stop with his new organization, and it'll probably take time to carve out a clear path to the majors. Schiraldi, who turns 24 on July 25, currently profiles as a high-strikeout, high-walk reliever thanks to his big fastball and control that's a work in progress, according to Sherman, so perhaps the University of Texas alum will emerge in a high-leverage, late-innings job in the best-case scenario.
