The Miami Marlins could start the season with Wei-Yin Chen as their lone left-handed starter. Could the team pursue another lefty to balance the rotation before the start of Spring Training?
Probably not.
As of now, Caleb Smith is still rehabbing an injury and may not be ready for the start of the season. It’s an issue that Marlins have dealt with before, but are now facing it with veterans at the front of the rotation (Chen, Dan Straily and Jose Urena) and youth mixed in with Sandy Alcantara, Pablo Lopez and Trevor Richards fighting for two spots.
