The Miami Marlins won’t be asking Santa Claus for any new starting pitchers on their wish list this season, or so it would seem.
Michael Hill, the team’s president of baseball operations made it clear at the Major League Baseball Winter Meetings in San Diego this week that the front office stands firm in its belief in the arms it has on the roster and the depth that exists in the minor league system.
Any thought of the organization making a run at one of the existing top-tier arms is nothing more than a dream for fans who hoped the team would take the chains off the checkbook and sign big-names to bolster the pitching staff.
