2021 Marlins Season Preview: Miguel Rojas

He is your captain in every way but title. He’s your longest tenured Marlin as a representative of Miami since 2015. He’s your starting shortstop and the epitome of what it is to be a competitor, athlete and leader.

On the field, Miguel Rojas has grown much as a player since he was acquired as the least-heralded part of the Dan Haren and Dee Strange-Gordon blockbuster. His inclusion in the trade was first mentioned by longtime Marlins.com writer Joe Frisaro.

As part of deal #Marlins also are receiving another player, perhaps a Minor Leaguer

As an international signee out of Venezuela at 16 years of age, Rojas has been an exceptional athlete since childhood and this is a time in Miguel’s life I’d like to learn more about.
