2024 Marlins

[Just Regular]

Buster Olney had this detail on an action by new GM Peter Bendix.    I suppose this makes Schumaker about as clear an impending FA as a manager can get.    I hope Bendix and Schumaker agreed this was an okay action, and he'd see the year through while Bendix learns the org and figures out his Brandon Hyde character.

The Miami Marlins, meanwhile, are 3-14, with a -36 run differential and about half of their projected pitching staff on the injured list, from Sandy Alcantara to Eury Perez. Additionally, the Marlins made the strange decision to void their 2025 option on manager Skip Schumaker, who is already regarded as one of the more coveted managers in the sport; there is an industry assumption that Schumaker will be headed elsewhere after this season.

Slight change in a couple of players.

I read the new player as You Suck Go.  What do I know.

On our favorite Marlin, Jesus Luzardo was scratched 4/26 with elbow soreness subsequently diagnosed as a mild flexor strain, but worked his way back to a bullpen yesterday, and we'll see next week if he can muster a rehab start.

I'm sure much of the league isn't surprised Bendix is steering into this lane early.

Bendix's centerpiece from the high school class of 2022 maybe a clue 2025 will be an ease them back year for Alcantara and Eury.

Here are Sandy Alcantara's 2025-2027 terms - basically 3/55.

25:$17M, 26:$17M, 27:$21M club option ($2M buyout)
