On Monday, the Marlins extended Spring Training invitations to 14 players. Among them were Victor Victor Mesa, the team’s top prospect despite having signed only in October, and Pedro Alvarez, an All-Star and Silver Slugger with Pittsburgh in 2013. The soon-to-be 32-year-old will compete with Peter O’Brien and Garrett Cooper for first base duties in 2019.
Lots of names here we already knew on the Marlins spring training invite list, but some fun ones too. Deven Marrero confirmed. Hi, Pedro Alvarez! pic.twitter.com/VyLtmbsjsc
