Vidal Brujan Vidal Brujan DFA'd by Fish
Fri, Dec 20, 2024, 4:12 PM
The Marlins designated Brujan for assignment Friday, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.
Analysis: Brujan played in a career-high 102 games last season, during which he slashed .222/.303/.319 with 16 RBI and five stolen bases. However, Miami signed Eric Wagaman to a one-year deal Friday, which will force Brujan to give up his spot on the 40-man roster. The 26-year-old's defensive versatility could draw interest from other teams on the waiver wire, though chances are he begins the season in Triple-A. |

Eric Wagaman Eric Wagaman Signs on with Miami
Fri, Dec 20, 2024, 3:46 PM
The Marlins signed Wagaman to a one-year contract Friday, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.
Analysis: Alvarez-Montes indicates that it's a major-league deal for Wagaman, who was non-tendered by the Angels last month. The 27-year-old got a cup of coffee with the Halos in 2024, slashing .250/.270/.403 with two homers in 18 games. He hit .274/.339/.469 with 17 home runs last year in the minors. Wagaman should have a pretty good chance to make the Opening Day roster on a talent-deficient Marlins club. |

Deyvison De Los Santos Deyvison De Los Santos Given 40-man roster spot
Tue, Nov 19, 2024, 1:33 PM
The Marlins selected De Los Santos' contract from Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: De Los Santos finished the 2024 season with 40 home runs and 120 RBI between the Double-A and Triple-A levels. He got his strikeout rate down to 24.7 percent overall on the season, but it came in at 28.4 percent with Jacksonville after he landed there via trade. While there are swing-and-miss concerns, De Los Santos won't turn 22 until June and has immense raw power. He could get a shot with the Marlins at some point in 2025. |

Fri, Nov 1, 2024, 2:19 PM
The Marlins outrighted Hensley to Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday.

Darren McCaughan Darren McCaughan Removed from 40-man roster
Fri, Nov 1, 2024, 2:17 PM
The Marlins outrighted McCaughan to Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday.

Shaun Anderson Shaun Anderson Sent outright to Triple-A
Fri, Nov 1, 2024, 2:15 PM
The Marlins outrighted Anderson to Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday.
Analysis: Anderson has been outrighted previously, so he has the option to elect free agency. The righty held an 8.27 ERA and 10:1 K:BB across 16.1 frames between the Rangers and Marlins this season. |

Braxton Garrett Braxton Garrett Dealing with elbow impingement
Fri, Oct 11, 2024, 12:22 PM
Garrett was diagnosed with a left elbow impingement last week, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Garrett missed multiple months of action with a strained left forearm before suffering a setback with his elbow during a bullpen session in September. He is currently going through a throwing progression at the Marlins' spring training complex in Florida, and the setback isn't considered something that will jeopardize his availability for the start of spring training. |
