The Miami Marlins gifted three of their top minor league prospects with promotions earlier this week.
Victor Victor Mesa, one of the Miami’s top prospects in their minor league system, will spend the final month of the baseball season with the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp.
The Jumbo Shrimp are Miami’s Double-A affiliate and play in the Southern League. Mesa, who signed an international deal with the organization last offseason with his brother, Victor Mesa, Jr., was one of three outfielders who were promoted by the organization.
What’s even cooler about this decision by the Marlins to move Mesa is that I will have the chance to see him play baseball in my own back yard.
