Podcast: Marlins holding ground but injuries could hurt with trade deadline a week away
The Miami Marlins continue to tread water in the playoff race with the MLB trade deadline just a week away.
This is the final week for the club to state its case to the front office: Are they a playoff contender or is this another season where they have to sell off and wait until next year?
The current state of the roster might play a role in deciding that.
Injuries have hit the team hard, with Jazz Chisholm Jr. now out an extended period of time and three more key players — Max Meyer, Brian Anderson and Garrett Cooper — also sustaining injuries over the weekend.
Jordan McPherson, the Miami Herald’s Marlins beat writer, breaks down the state of the team on the latest episode of Fish Bytes. He also discusses Trevor Rogers’ continued struggles, JJ Bleday’s debut and more.
