There have been plenty of discussions this offseason about the Miami Marlins potentially adding a veteran arm to their young starting rotation. While Sandy Alcantara and Caleb Smith are virtual locks to be the No. 1 and No. 2 starters in 2020 if nothing changes, the Marlins could use an experienced veteran to balance the back end of the quintet.
The names have been mentioned. Gerrit Cole, Zack Wheeler, Jake Odorizzi. Some make more sense than others. And then, there is the case for Rick Porcello, who may not re-sign with Boston this offseason.
