The Marlins kept busy during the MLB Winter Meetings, adding a pair of right-handers into their 2020 bullpen mix and engaging agents and other teams regarding experienced outfielders. Aram Leighton brings on Wells Dusenbury, Marlins beat reporter for the Sun Sentinel, to analyze it all (2:30). Then, Ely reads aloud the responses from fans on Twitter who were asked to grade Miami’s offseason transactions thus far (39:00).
While in San Diego, Dusenbury asked manager Don Mattingly what Garrett Cooper’s role on the roster would be coming off a productive 2019. That procured a surprisingly blunt response, with Mattingly suggesting that the club’s acquisitions of Jesús Aguilar and Jonathan Villar were made under the assumption that Cooper would not be healthy/consistent enough to start regularly.
