Ely Sussman looks ahead five-and-a-half months to the Marlins’ 2021 season opener. Listen to his breakdown of why you could see Jesús Aguilar, Sandy Alcantara, Brian Anderson, Jazz Chisholm, Garrett Cooper, Corey Dickerson, Starling Marte, Harold Ramirez, Miguel Rojas and longtime Red Sox catcher Christian Vázquez in Miami’s starting lineup.
Here is a side-by-side-by-side comparison of the club’s 2020 Opening Day lineup, the lineup used in Miami’s final postseason game and what I currently expect to see on April 1 at Marlins Park:

I encourage the Marlins to do even more to reinforce their mediocre offense with established veterans.
