Nothing finalized.Marlins are shaping up to be pretty interesting this season twitter.com/feinsand/statu…Fans are excited to see this Miami Marlins roster take shape. They'll definitely be an interesting team to watch next season, with Jazz Chisholm moving to center field.Yuli Gurriel could see a limited role if he signs with MiamiChampionship Series - New York Yankees v Houston Astros - Game TwoGiven his age, production value, and crowded Miami infield, Gurriel may see a limited role if he signs with the Marlins. Garrett Cooper is the team's first baseman at the moment. He's coming off a .261 season at the plate while hitting nine home runs over 414 at-bats.Gurriel won't be much of an upgrade at this position. And with both players being right-handed hitters, they won't be a platoon option.It's likely he won't see much time at third base, given his age and the team signing Jean Segura in the off-season. Miami plans to use Segura as the team's starting third baseman. They also have the speedy Jon Berti, who became a utility man in Miami.It's not the best fit for Yuli Gurriel. It will be interesting to see who he chooses to sign with. Will he be okay with not playing every day? If so, the Marlins are the perfect team to wind down his career with.
