Podcast: Evaluating first half of Marlins’ season. Plus All-Star Game and draft talk
The Miami Marlins had a chance to make a big push into the playoff conversation in the final week before the All-Star Break.
They whiffed on the opportunity, splitting a four-game series against the Pittsburgh Pirates and getting swept by a Philadelphia Phillies team they are chasing in the standings.
What does it mean for the Marlins? Miami Herald beat writer Jordan McPherson and deputy sports editor Andre Fernandez take a closer look.
They also examine what’s next on the other side of the All-Star Break (don’t forget the Aug. 2 trade deadline), preview the Marlins-centric portions of Tuesday’s All-Star game (Sandy Alcantara will pitch at some point... just not the first inning) and take a look at the first two days of the MLB Draft (a big bat ... and then a lot of pitching).
