Opposition research: Griffin Conine

The Marlins don’t have a lot of established major league stars on their roster. But they do have the sons of two former Phillies playing for them. One of them - Cal Quantrill - will be the starting pitcher on Saturday night. The other - Griffin Conine - will likely be the team’s starting left fielder.

Despite being a second-round pick of the Blue Jays in 2018, it took a while for Conine to reach the major leagues. Part of that was due to a suspension for using a banned substance in 2018 and losing the 2020 season to COVID.
