There isn’t a definitive feel to how the Miami Marlins have handled free agency so far this season other than the front office has been more productive than in the past two seasons under the watchful eye of CEO Derek Jeter. As a team that has bought more than it has sold and is still looking to expand its roster with other veterans who could still impact his organization, fans must see this as a step forward, not as a step in place.
The Marlins have made improvements. The lineup is stronger thanks to the trade for Jonathan Villar and the waiver wire pickup of Jesus Aguilar.
