At some point soon, the Miami Marlins will have to answer a question that has been asked by many fans since the end of the 2019 MLB season. What will this team do with Garrett Cooper?
If you are looking for a quick answer, then as of right now, the 28-year-old first baseman will be in the 2020 starting lineup and on the bag in the clean-up spot in the batting order. A long-term solution is that the Marlins find a power-hitting player with more longevity given Cooper’s injury history.
The organization hopes there is still a place for him, as he has proven when healthy, he swings a powerful bat.
