Just because the Marlins have a wealth of pitching depth, it doesn’t mean the front office will upload the cupboard anytime soon.
First, letting go of any of the team’s top pitching prospects goes against everything at the front office has done to build this organization from the ground up. Second, because of injury concerns not only with the Marlins but across Major League Baseball, keeping as many young arms on staff ensures consistency.
The Marlins need plenty of that as they look to take a major leap forward during the 2020 season. The only way they’re going to do that is through solid starting pitching.
