The good news is there aren’t any players on the current Miami Marlins roster who are eligible for free agency. It means there is a chance the same roster the organization ended the 2018 season with will remain intact for Spring Training and beyond. Now, the team moves on to the possibility of arbitration for some Marlins players.
There are seven players who are arbitration eligible, which means they could win their requests for pay raises, which would, in turn, increase the team’s payroll in 2019. As we all know, keeping salaries on the current roster to a minimum was something the new ownership group wanted when it took over the franchise.
