The latest minor moves from around the game…
- The Marlins outrighted Deven Marrero to Triple-A after the infielder cleared waivers, the team announced. Marrero was designated for assignment on Friday. Formerly a highly-touted prospect during his days in Boston’s farm system, Marrero didn’t produce much at the plate in limited Major League action (343 PA) with the Red Sox and Diamondbacks from 2015-18. He inked a minor league contract with Miami last winter, and he has hit .249/.324/.420 over 380 PA for Triple-A New Orleans while also appeared in five big league games for the Marlins.
AAA is a good place for this guy.
Meh
I never really understood why the Sox gave him as much of a shot/playing time as they did back when he was with them. He really never did much of anything spectacular in the minors or majors yet one season they gave him close to 200 ABs… I mean he seems like a nice enough guy and I wish him the best but I really don’t see him having all that much value beyond a utility/depth piece at AAA. He does, albeit with little else to offer, provide decent defense at 2nd, 3rd and SS
Josh Taylor doing a fine job…just needs a solid chance
