Marlins’ Roster Solidifying
That leaves 3 spots for a backup catcher, at least one reliever, and potentially one other position player (but only if they're comfortable with 12 pitchers instead of 13)

Congrats to Braxton Lee on joining them! Sprinting straight from Double-A to the majors after a breakout 2017 season. pic.twitter.com/EYQfwgxWNL
In regards to those final three spots, Chad Wallach is the presumed favorite for the back-up catcher gig (until J.T. Realmuto gets back and pushes Tomas Telis back into said position), and hard-throwing Tayron Guerrero and minor league invite Jumbo Diaz are in play for that last reliever position. The final position is a bit of a mystery, I wont hazard a guess. The Marlins have until 11:35 am eastern to finalize the roster.
