Unfortunately, it’s not the kind of holiday that we get excited for. The Miami Marlins spring training “tryouts” ended up about two weeks short of what the management group were hoping for in order to make an informed decision about who’s ready for the majors.
Sterling Sharp joined the Miami Marlins via rule 5 draft in December, and is expected to remain with the club through the 162 game campaign. If they decide he’s not ready, they cannot send him to the minors without his original team, the Washington Nationals, reclaiming him.
Sharp was drafted by the Atlanta Braves in the 30th round of the 2013 MLB Amateur Entry Draft out of North Farmington HS, in his hometown of Farmington Hills, MI.
