The Marlins plan to make multiple rosters based on the Miami Herald’s Craig Mish. It was reported earlier today that they will choose the outfielder’s contract Heriberto Hernández. Kevin Barral Jack Winkler Will also be selected as the roster. The club is planning to designate an infielder Matt Mervis and Ronny Simón Make allocations. That will open two 40-person attractions for Hernandez and Winkler.
Mervis, 27, received from the Cubs in December, fish was given Vidal Bruján Go to Chicago. Mervis started a hot start, but with some red flags. By April 23, he had seven home runs but also beaten in 36.2% of his plate appearances. Since then, this feast or – rare method has been pushing the famine efforts toward the famine. He hasn’t hit a home run since then while still hitting 38.5% of the clip.
Combining this year’s struggle with time with the Cubs, there are now 261 Major League Baseball games with a 0.165/.238/.322 line and a 34.5% strikeout rate. He created huge minor league production in 2022 and 2023, cutting .297/.388/.576, but last year’s strikeout became a big problem. He spent most of 2024 in Triple-A and was beaten out at 30% at that level.
There was obviously some pop music in the Bats, but the Marlins ran out of patience. Mervis really can only play first base, so he needs to hit to have any value. The Marlins will now have a week of DFA dilemma to figure out what’s next. The exemption process takes 48 hours, so the club is given five days to see if there is any trade interest. He still has a choice, so there may be some clubs that catch him and give him to minors in an attempt to catch lightning in a bottle.
And more.
