Marlins pitcher Wei-Yin Chen designated for assignment

The Miami Marlins finally made a decision about reliever Wei-Yin Chen by designating him for assignment. It wasn’t the only news of the day as the team made changes to its 40-man roster on Wednesday.

“It is a challenge, and it’s a good challenge to have,” Marlins president of baseball operations Michael Hill said. “As we’ve built the layers of talent throughout the system, we still believe he is a very good Major League prospect.”

Now, the Marlins prepare for the 2020 season without him, knowing it can maneuver a bit more in free agency and potential trades to aid the pitching staff.
