The Miami Herald’s Craig Mish and Barry Jackson report on several offseason deals that didn’t happen for Marlins, most notably their pursuits of Cubs catcher Willson Contreras and Red Sox (now Royals) outfielder Andrew Benintendi. Of the two, the latter came much closer to joining the Fish:
According to a source, the Marlins could have had Benintendi as part of a three-team deal that would have involved the Marlins trading a position player, a veteran who isn’t assured of a starting spot.
Very vague phrasing. What qualifies as a “veteran” on this Marlins roster?
