Podcast: What are the Miami Marlins still playing for in 2022? Here are a few things
Overall, this has been a lost season for the Miami Marlins.
They enter Tuesday’s game against the Chicago Cubs with a 61-87 record and need to go at least 7-7 down the stretch to finish with a better record than last season — a low bar of achievement to clear.
But from individual perspectives, there are still motivating factors that Marlins players are competing for. It could be a league-wide award, a personal milestone, or an effort to prove their worth for next season.
On the latest episode of Fish Bytes, Miami Herald Marlins beat writer Jordan McPherson takes a look at some of the individual talking points left in the final two weeks of the season. This ranges from Sandy Alcantara’s Cy Young Award chase and Miguel Rojas’ quest for a Gold Glove to Pablo Lopez closing in on his goal to pitch a full season and the young position players who can still prove something over the final two weeks of the season.
The show wraps with a preview of the Double A Pensacola Blue Wahoos’ playoff run that begins Tuesday and a brief look at who is representing the Marlins in the Arizona Fall League.
