I liked the move by the Marlins to bring in Jorge Posada as a special advisor to the organization long before the announcement was made final prior to the start of Spring Training. Now that the organization has begun playing baseball games this weekend, Posada’s experience and expertise will prove invaluable to a young and developing core of players.
If the Marlins needed more than anything after the trade that sent J.T. Realmuto to the Philadelphia Phillies, it was a steadying influence who understood what it took to become a superstar backstop in the Majors.
