MIAMI -- Before the World Series even started, the wheels were in motion for the first trade in the Hot Stove season.

For about a week and a half, the Marlins had been in ongoing discussions with the Royals regarding a deal of first baseman Mike Jacobs for a relief pitcher.

Marlins trade Jacobs for Nunez

I hope this trade truns out to be a good one. Jacobs did hit 32 homers last year. But Nunez wend 4-1 so it could turn out to be even depending on what happens.
