Will Derek Dietrich Stay With the Miami Marlins in 2019?
Will the Miami Marlins retain Derek Dietrich for the 2019 season or release the veteran utility player in the offseason?
It may be a tough decision to make by the Miami Marlins organization. Does the front office decide to keep utility player Derek Dietrich and pay him a larger salary in 2019, or do they release him without offering him a new deal based on his arbitration status?
That was one of the questions presented to MLB.com’s Joe Frisaro in his most recent “Inbox” feature, but it is something I have wondered for some time. Dietrich had a solid season for the Marlins and was invaluable as a veteran presence on the field at multiple positions.
