Salary arbitration deadline looms for Miami Marlins players
The Miami Marlins face an 8 p.m. ET deadline on Friday to tender their arbitration-eligible players. Those not tendered will become free agents.
Two days and counting. What will the Miami Marlins do? After decided to designate Derek Dietrich, ending his career in a Marlins uniform, the team now must decide what to do about its remaining arbitration-eligible players and either tender them a qualifying offer or they become free agents.
The team will certainly tender catcher J.T. Realmuto, who is still under contract with the organization through the 2020 season. After that, there are decisions to make, especially with pitchers Dan Straily and Jose Urena.
