New Fish Stripes Podcast
- The Marlins made selections in every round of the minor league phase of the 2021 Rule 5 Draft, which was held on Wednesday via teleconference. They added infielder Charles Leblanc (from Rangers organization), left-hander Robert García (Royals), infielder Cobie Vance (Athletics), right-hander Luarbert Arias (Padres) and infielder Carlos Santiago (Dodgers). The only unprotected player they lost was right-hander Tanner Andrews (taken by the Braves).
