Marlins Part Ways with Johnston and Soriano Amid Roster Adjustments
As the offseason begins, the Miami Marlins find themselves navigating a series of pivotal roster moves that signal a shift in their organizational strategy. With no pressing free agents to re-sign, the focus turns to reactivating players from the 60-day injured list and protecting prospects eligible for the Rule 5 draft.
In a recent development, the Marlins made the difficult decision to part ways with two players. First baseman Troy Johnston has been claimed off waivers by the Colorado Rockies, while right-handed pitcher George Soriano is headed to the Baltimore Orioles. These transactions highlight the ongoing challenges teams face as they seek to optimize their rosters.
