This likely isn’t the kind of move that is going to change the direction of the Miami Marlins franchise. However it’s the kind of low-risk, high upside gamble that helps build winning teams. The Miami Marlins have decided to roll the dice on right hander William Cuevas.
Cuevas hasn’t had much Major League experience in his career. The 26-year-old Venezuelan pitcher has logged a total of 5.1 innings at the pro level. He’s split his time in stints with Boston in 2016, and more recently the Tigers in 2017.
After being designated for assignment, Cuevas decided to test free agency rather than be out-righted to Toledo.
