The Marlins roster will undergo considerable change over the next several days. Change is good! Since the latest jolt of prospect promotions in early August, the Fish have for the most part played a terrible, uninspiring brand of baseball. Not ideal when attempting to show the fanbase that there’s tangible progress being made in this rebuild. They gotta try something.
As our own Danny Martinez explained, MLB teams can utilize an expanded active roster beginning on Sunday, Sept. 1 as the usual 25-man limit is increased to 40. That allows young players to experience The Show for the first time, rewards journeymen with very particular skill sets or strong results at Triple-A, etc.
