I liked what I saw from Chad Wallach in his limited opportunities with the 2019 Marlins, but never would’ve imagined him having a tangible, positive impact on the 2020 club. Way to step it up, Wally!

Wallach’s first challenge was sticking on the 40-man roster throughout the 2019-20 offseason. Entering the third year of their rebuild, the Marlins were determined to make improvements in the form of accomplished veterans. For every Jesús Aguilar, Jonathan Villar and Corey Dickerson they acquired, there was a Tayron Guerrero, Kyle Keller and Austin Brice sent packing as corresponding moves.
