There was a time when Wei-Yin Chen was thought to be part of the future of the Miami Marlins’ starting rotation. In 2016, Chen joined the Marlins as an $80-million free agency pickup, so Miami tabbed him to start on Opening Day ahead of Jose Fernandez.
There was a time, much more recently, when Jose Urena was thought of in the same way.
