Brian Anderson will start at third base for the Marlins

Miami Marlins have a new third baseman. After some speculation over the offseason, manager Don Mattingly named Brian Anderson as the Opening Day starter, which also means veteran Martin Prado will now serve as a utility player and provide depth off the bench.

The move isn’t surprising and opens a few more doors for Miami, a team looking to fill holes in starting spots in the outfield. Anderson, a second-year pro who finished fourth in the NL Rookie of the Year voting last year, split time in both right field and the hot corner in 2018.
