Craig Mish on Marlins Turnaround, Trade Deadline & Breakout Stars [4kDHsc8kO17]
Craig Mish from Marlins.TV joins Joe Rose to discuss Miami’s incredible turnaround and how the Marlins have become one of baseball’s biggest surprises. Mish highlights the impact of rookie catcher Joe Mack, who has provided a major boost behind the plate defensively while also delivering quality production at the plate since being called up from the minors. He also discusses Kyle Stowers’ turnaround after a slow start, Otto Lopez’s unbelievable season after being released twice earlier in his career, and Owen Caissie beginning to find his rhythm as one of the top rookie power hitters in the National League. The conversation turns to the trade deadline, including whether the Marlins will be buyers or sellers, the possibility of trading Sandy Alcantara, and why Mish would be shocked if Miami moves its ace. Mish also explains why the Marlins could look to add a right-handed bat and bullpen help as they continue their surprising playoff push.
