Marlins Prospect Watch: Dark Horse RHP Josh Roeder
The Miami Marlins Opening Day roster may surprise a few people.
With a club that won a total of only 57 games in 2019 (the second lowest in team history), the Marlins roster could be a volatile place for a while.
Last season, the Marlins employed a total of 50 players, 25 pitchers, 24 fielders, and Bryan Holaday. That was actually one less than the 51 who played for them in 2018.
Although 50 players may seem like a lot, the Marlins actually ranked tied for the lowest number in the National League East. The Philadelphia Phillies played 56, and the New York Mets had 53. Nevertheless, turnover can be high when a team is struggling.
