Marlins Exploring Shortstop Free-Agent Market
9 months agoThe Miami Marlins are exploring the free-agent market for shortstops and are mulling over a group that includes Tim Anderson, Amed Rosario, Adalberto Mondesi and Nick Ahmed, according to a source briefed on their pursuits. Jon Berti, 34, is currently Miami's leading candidate to start at the 6 and is more of a utility player. If Anderson, for example, wants to stick at shortstop, the Marlins likely could give him 500 plate appearances in 2024. But it remains to be seen if Anderson or Rosario would view the Marlins as the best vehicle to re-establish their respective values. The 30-year-old Anderson had an awful season with the White Sox, in part due to a knee injury he suffered in early July. Rosario, 28, played more second base than short after he was traded from the Guardians to the Dodgers at the deadline.
