There may be a memorable day in Marlins history on the horizon. Sunday afternoon, Craig Mish reported that the team intends to call up outfield prospect Monte Harrison for their upcoming series with the Orioles; with the move, all four prospects received in the deal for Christian Yelich have now reached the big leagues. It’s the end of a long journey for Harrison, who made his pro debut at age 18 in 2014 and has worked tirelessly to polish his game while accumulating over 2,000 minor league plate appearances since.
Harrison was the 50th overall pick of the 2014 draft by the Brewers, and was considered a tough sign with a strong commitment to Nebraska, where he planned to play both football and baseball.
