“I believe Miami is really active and trying to get better for 2022,” Craig Mish reported Friday on a new episode of Swings and Mishes. With Starling Marte all but certain to be traded, the Marlins could be in conversations to acquire a younger center fielder with more long-term control as his successor, a top catching prospect or both, per Mish.
Entering the day at 41-56 with injuries to numerous key players, the Marlins no longer have any delusions about returning to the postseason. However, filling some holes prior to next week’s deadline and using August and September to evaluate them within their own organization would give them a jumpstart on building a complete team to take the field next year.
