Marlins must continue adding to outfield this offseason

Jesús Sánchez has returned from the injured list. During his one-month hiatus, the Marlins traded away a pair of valuable veteran outfielders in Starling Marte and Adam Duvall, but softening the blow of those departures, Lewis Brinson and Bryan De La Cruz have done a remarkable job filling their shoes.

Entering play on Tuesday, Brinson, De La Cruz and Sánchez have been solid to above-average hitters in 2021 (121 wRC+, 111 wRC+ and 96 wRC+, respectively) and effective with their gloves, too. They’re each affordable for 2022 and controllable for multiple years beyond that.
