Major League Baseball offers fans something that no other professional league can: a clear vision of the future. All you have to do is look at a franchise’s minor league affiliates.
Of course, there will be free agent additions, and newly drafted players who rise more quickly than expected. But for the most part, the next 3-5 years of Miami Marlins baseball is already in the organization. Somewhere in the layers of talent and newfound depth of the system are the building blocks for success in Miami.
Some may already be at the big league level, but today, we focus specifically on the 2019 minor league rosters, highlighting players to keep an eye on at each full-season affiliate, then selecting a few who may receive promotions throughout the year.
