The Braves and the Marlins will meet for the first time in 2019 on Friday night when they open a three-game series at SunTrust Park. The Marlins are in their second year of their rebuild and traded away another big name in catcher J.T. Realmuto this offseason. While they aren’t expected to win a large number of games in 2019, there is a sense of optimism for the future.
To get the lowdown, I talked with Ely Sussman who is the site manager for SB Nation’s Marlins site Fish Stripes.
