I must admit when it was announced the Miami Marlins had signed outfielder Curtis Granderson to a one-year free-agent deal, it was something that made plenty of sense.
It was a low-risk, high-reward moves the Marlins front office made prior to the start of Spring Training that offered depth at a position that still had plenty of questions. As we have seen over the course of the season, manager Don Mattingly has used plenty of different outfield combinations, with younger players having the opportunity to make a solid first impression.
Now, with the end of the season less than a week away, the Marlins will have to decide if Granderson, the elder statesman of the team’s 40-man roster, will get another chance to play in the Majors next season, and if he has another opportunity to play in a Miami uniform.
