Adam Duvall gives the Miami Marlins a dynamic that has seemingly dissipated since the departures of Giancarlo Stanton, Marcell Ozuna, and Christian Yelich, power. Since the start of 2018, the first season without either of three, the Marlins rank dead-last in the sport with 334 home runs.
Now, with Duvall in the fold for 2021, signing a 1-year/$5 million contract that will only pay him $2 million in the coming season, the team theoretically now has 41 players on their current 40-man roster.
The swap of Alex Vesia and Dylan Floro doesn’t affect 40-man totals, but certainly shows new GM Kim Ng’s attempts to progressively better the big league roster.
