The Miami Marlins have players on the current 40-man roster that will get a shot at the team’s vacant first base job. The team will also look outside the organization through free agency to bring in a veteran to challenge for the position.
On Monday, the Marlins announced the signing of several players as non-roster invitees to Spring Training, meaning they are not part of the 40-man roster but will have an opportunity to compete for a spot with the organization. First baseman Pedro Alvarez was one of them, adding some intrigue to the open competition this coming season.
