It’s going to take a village for the Miami Marlins to make the playoffs this coming season.
Despite the shorted season with only 82-games on the schedule, the team will still need some Herculean effort from its 30-man roster to make the leap to the postseason. It’s not unheard of, with teams coming back to the ballparks, hoping the players who are still competing for roster spots are in shape and can make the adjustment to playing games that matter in a short amount of time.
When looking at all 30 rosters and who could take advantage of the changes in the Majors this season, Max Goodman of Sports Illustrated pointed to shortstop Miguel Rojas as the one player for the Miami Marlins who could benefit from the short season.
