Marlins News
After Miami led the league (and set a franchise record) in fewest errors committed in 2017, Marlins stalwarts Dee Gordon, Marcell Ozuna, and Giancarlo Stanton have all been named finalists for the Gold Glove award at their respective positions.
Neither outfield/baserunning coach Lorenzo Bundy or bullpen coordinator Jeff Urgelles will retain their roles heading into the new season, although the rest of the coaching staff is expected to remain largely intact (unless Joe Girardi is interested in a Marlins reunion). Another employee that appears to be out of the door is Mr. Marlin, Jeff Conine, who has declined Derek Jeter's offer to take on a reduced role for less money.
Derek Dietrich has filled a super-utility role for the Marlins over the past few seasons, and he will be a very important piece for the team moving forward due to his impact, both in the field and at the plate, and his cheap salary.
Stanton may have professed his childhood love for the Dodgers to Jimmy Kimmel the other night, but it is the Giants who currently look like a more likely trade destination.

There have already been 11 home runs in the first two games of the Fall Classic, but is it due to pitchers making mistakes or hitters just being dialed in?
