Will the Marlins keep Neil Walker in 2020?

It doesn’t seem likely the Miami Marlins will consider keeping any of their potential free agents, but retaining a veteran who is set to leave South Florida may be beneficial to the continued development of the young roster.

Determining which player to extend an offer to might seem difficult. The obvious choice would be Starlin Castro, who led the team in home runs (22) and RBIs (86) this past season after catching fire in the second half of 2019. Castro’s contract becomes an issue, where are the Marlins don’t want to spend an exorbitant amount of money next season knowing it could only be a one-and-done situation.
