“Routine is the most important part of the big league lifestyle,” Jesús Luzardo said on Thursday’s episode of the Just Baseball Show with Aram Leighton and Peter Appel. Now, the Marlins lefty is in the midst of the first MLB work stoppage of his lifetime, but that hasn’t prevented him from “going about my offseason as a regular offseason.”
Luzardo struggled at the big league level in 2021, both before (6.87 ERA/6.09 FIP in 38.0 IP) and after (6.44 ERA/5.07 FIP in 57.1 IP) the trade that sent him to the Marlins in exchange for Starling Marte.
