Consider it a get-to-know-you event.
When the Miami Marlins conduct their annual FanFest on Feb. 10 at Marlins Park, many of the players they acquired in trades this winter will be on hand to mingle and sign autographs for fans.
All of the players on the 40-man roster, with one or two exceptions, are required to attend. That means everyone from Lewis Brinson (the Christian Yelich trade) to Sandy Alcantara (the Marcell Ozuna trade) to Starlin Castro (the Giancarlo Stanton trade) will likely be on hand.
Of course, holdovers such as Dan Straily, Justin Bour, Martin Prado, Miguel Rojas and others are expected to participate, as well.
