Tim Anderson Being Designated For Assignment
5 months agoThe Miami Marlins plan on designating struggling shortstop Tim Anderson for assignment. The move should free up guys like Vidal Brujan and Xavier Edwards for regular playing time with an eye toward the future. Anderson was Miami's only major-league free-agent signing in the offseason at $5 million for one season. The 31-year-old unfortunately continued the downward spiral that began in his final season with the Chicago White Sox last year. Through 65 games in 2024, the two-time All-Star hit just .214/.237/.226 with no home runs, three doubles, nine RBI, four stolen bases, seven walks and 68 strikeouts in 241 plate appearances. Anderson has just one home run in the last two seasons and will now hope to latch on with another organization when he eventually becomes a free agent. Edwards has yet to homer in his 33 big-league games dating back to last year but is worth a look in NL-only leagues now that he's back in the fold and set to see playing time in Miami.
