Rays land Liam Hicks in multi-prospect swap with Marlins

The Rays will acquire catcher Liam Hicks from the Marlins in a three-prospect deal that includes Brayden Taylor, Adrian Santana and Jacob Kisting, per ESPN’s Jeff Passan and The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal. Tampa Bay is expected to demote lefty-hitting catcher Hunter Feduccia and keep Nick Fortes as Hicks’ backup, while the Marlins could recall Agustín Ramírez to DH behind Joe Mack. Hicks, a 27-year-old left-handed hitter, is slashing .283/.364/.434 with 14 homers and 62 RBI in 405 plate appearances this season, providing the Rays with added catching depth.

Rays upgrade catcher by adding Liam Hicks from Marlins ahead of deadline

The Rays acquired catcher Liam Hicks from the Marlins for three minor leaguers (Brayden Taylor, Adrian Santana, Jacob Kisting) to upgrade their catching, likely replacing Hunter Feduccia in a Fortes-Hicks platoon. The move comes as Tampa Bay added Freddy Peralta and optioned rookie reliever Alex Cook, while designating Craig Kimbrel for assignment, with reports of ongoing talks for a reliever, a second baseman and/or a bat‑first outfielder before the 6 p.m. deadline. Hicks is hitting .282 with 14 homers and 62 RBIs in 101 games this season.

Rays land Hicks in three-player swap to bolster catching behind the plate

The Miami Marlins traded catcher/first baseman Liam Hicks to the Tampa Bay Rays in a three-player package that also sends Brayden Taylor to Miami, with Adrian Santana and Jacob Kisting rounding out the return. Hicks, 27, has posted a .282/.363/.432 line with 14 homers in 409 plate appearances and is viewed as a potential long-term catching solution for Tampa Bay, a team that has shuffled at the position. The Rays’ catching duties have been filled by Nick Fortes and Hunter Feduccia, with Fortes producing solid numbers and Feduccia offering less offense. The move gives Tampa a potential offensive upgrade behind the plate while Miami retools its depth.

Marlins Weigh Trades Centered on Hicks and Stowers as Deadline Nears

With their season revived to 58-55, the Marlins are actively discussing trades involving left-handed hitters Liam Hicks and Kyle Stowers as the MLB trade deadline approaches; Hicks is drawing interest from the Rays, Red Sox, and Rangers, while Stowers has emerged as a strong offensive option at first base. Both players are controllable for several years (Hicks through 2030, Stowers through 2029), making a deal sizable, and Miami is weighing whether to buy, sell, or both as it also considers extending catching prospect Joe Mack, which could influence how hard they push to move Hicks.

Marlins Put Hicks on 10-Day IL, Navarreto Recalled to Back Up Mack

Miami placed Liam Hicks on the 10-day injured list with a lower back strain (retroactive to June 20) and recalled Brian Navarreto to back up Joe Mack, while Josh Ekness was moved from the 15-day to the 60-day IL to clear 40-man space. Hicks has been one of Miami’s bright spots in 2026, batting .278/.359/.472 with 13 homers in 288 PA, and Navarreto will provide depth as Hicks rests; Ekness is not expected back until at least August.
