Rhona Wise-USA TODAY Sports Yuli Gurriel may have metaphorically forced the Marlins’ hand in the decision for the final roster spot. The first baseman was a non-roster signing during the fourth week of spring training games on March 9, along with shortstop José Iglesias. It is likely only one of them makes the season-opening 26-man roster, and both players can opt out of their contracts if the team doesn’t select them. Saturday’s game against the St. Louis Cardinals was the final one prior to their opt-out opportunity. Gurriel made his seventh start for Miami...

Fish Stripes rewinds to the just-completed World Baseball Classic and how some new Marlins players performed at LoanDepot Park. The World Baseball Classic: what a tournament! New Marlins players were out in full force. Johnny Cueto (Dominican Republic) made his first and only start against Puerto Rico. Cueto utilized his signature shimmy to upset the timing of opposing hitters and held them scoreless entering the third inning. But then, he started missing his spots and paid for it. This gives us good insight into Cueto. When the fastball is there and the funk is working for...

Rich Storry-USA TODAY Sports Rogers looked confident on the mound against a half-strength Cardinals lineup. It has been a theme throughout Spring Training: the Marlins offense stays silent no matter who they’re facing. Wednesday’s opponent was the Cardinals and left-handed starter Jordan Montgomery. The results were more of the same. #Marlins lineup: - Arráez leads off - Avi in Left - Sanchie in Right - DLC in CF - Trevor Rogers is your starting pitcher pic.twitter.com/El6Jgzt2To— Kevin Barral (@kevin_barral) March 22, 2023 Trev shuts down the...

Danis Sosa/Fish Stripes The Marlins were solidly represented this year, but which of their other players could be competing at the next WBC? The World Baseball Classic isn’t for everybody, but the just-completed fifth iteration of the tournament was the biggest one yet. We have arrived at a point that fans and participating athletes care more deeply about the outcome than ever before, and the audience size, atmosphere and quality of play reflected that. Major League Baseball teams are understandably protective of their players. As long as the WBC continues to be held...

Rich Storry-USA TODAY Sports The bullpen’s clean sheet wasn’t enough in today’s game. After a bad offensive performance yesterday, the Marlins were back at it on Tuesday in West Palm Beach against the Astros. It was more of the same, unfortunately. Jesús Luzardo took the mound for the first time since his World Baseball Classic appearance against Team Israel. Luzardo had a solid outing, striking out five and only allowing two runs. The Astros got on the scoreboard in the bottom of the third inning due to a Chas McCormick double that drove in...

Danis Sosa/Fish Stripes Five Cardinals pitchers combined to hold the Fish scoreless. The final week of Spring Training has arrived. Usually, this is when we begin to see lots of veteran major leaguers in the lineup, and team performance is a little bit more indicative of what we might see during the regular season. For the Marlins on Monday, Dan Castano got the start, and for the Cardinals, Jake Woodford was the man on the mound. #Marlins lineup: - Basically the opening day lineup - Dan Castano on the mound - Austin Allen is catching instead of Jacob Stallings -...

Making his first true spring start since March 7, Edward Cabrera looked like he was in midseason form early. Retiring the Astros in order through the first three innings, Cabrera would allow just 1 run over the remaining 1 2⁄3 innings, facing the Houston order twice before departing in a 5-4 Marlins victory. The soon-to-be 25-year-old struck out 3 and walked 2 in his 4 2⁄3 innings pitched, throwing 67 in what was scheduled to be an outing of no more than 75 pitches. In 3...

Jim Rassol-USA TODAY Sports The Cardinals pushed across 16 runs in the blowout and didn’t even need any homers to do it. Friday marked the first Spring Training split-squad day for the Marlins since 2019. In the afternoon game at Roger Dean, the Marlins featured most of their major league starters and with Trevor Rogers on the mound. For the Cardinals, it was Steven Matz. The last time that Trevor was on the mound, he looked great, striking out five through four innings and only giving up one homer. Trev told the media that it is the best that he has ever felt and...
