More and more teams are starting to adopt on-field advertisements. This will be something that baseball fans will have to get used to.A healthy Jazz Chisholm Jr. will be huge for the Miami Marlins this seasonWashington Nationals v Miami MarlinsThe Miami Marlins didn't have the season they had hoped for in 2022. They finished with a 69-93 record and missed the playoffs.They missed the playoffs despite Sandy Alcantara winning the National League Cy Young Award. The Marlins didn't have enough outside of their quality starting rotation.It didn't help that they were missing Jazz Chisholm Jr. for much of the season last year. He was dealing with a back issue that cost him 102 games. At one point last year, he couldn't walk or lie down without experiencing pain.He's healthy now and is transferring to a new position, the outfield. Chisholm Jr. offered to move to the outfield if the team did not find a viable candidate in the offseason.Instead, the team traded for slugging infielder Luis Arraez from the Minnesota Twins. Arraez should bring good value to the team as he won the American League batting title last season.It's going to be an interesting year for the Miami Marlins. Expect a much better team than they put on the field last year.
