The Miami Marlins radically changed their image with the arrival of Derek Jeter, and in this list we will review the best contracts for the 2022 Major League Baseball season.
Joey Wendle
The young utility, Joey Wendle is part of this list because of an annual salary of $4.5 million dollars. Not an extravagant amount in modern baseball, but one that he achieved after a good campaign with the Tampa Bay Rays last campaign.
The 31-year-old will surely be responsible of playing with Miami every day, a team that has seen many players pass through in recent years.
In 2021, Wendle totaled 11 home runs and 54 RBIs with a .265 average. These are not all-star numbers, but he is a player who could be able to reach his peak playing for a franchise with little aspiration to the playoffs.
Brian Anderson
Brian Anderson has been one of the few consistent players in the Marlins lineup in the recent campaign, due to to his ability to hit and play multiple positions.
Last campaign, the 28-year-old did not see much action due to physical problems, registering just 7 home runs and 28 RBIs.
Anderson is one of manager Don Matingly’s most trusted hitters, and that has kept him on the staff at an annual salary of $5 million dollars.
Miguel Rojas
Miguel Rojas has become the great captain of the Miami Marlins, following the retirement of his compatriot Martín Prado, and he currently holds an annual salary of US$5.5 million.
The Venezuelan can play with solvency at shortstop. That combines well with his ability to connect hits in the not so many important moments that the Miami team faces during the campaign.
In his MLB career, including 7 years with the Marlins, the veteran has 33 home runs and 37 stolen bases.
Jesús Aguilar
Jesus Aguilar is the Marlins’ most powerful hitter at the moment, and that means he currently has an annual salary of $8 million.
The 32-year-old slugger had a great year in the last campaign, finishing with 22 home runs and 93 RBIs. Those were very good numbers, and they signified his best performance since the 2018 season, when he connected 35 homers wearing the uniform of the Milwaukee Brewers.
The Venezuelan is expected to remain in the offensive heart of the lineup for a Miami team that is not known for hitting very well.
Avisaíl García
Avisaíl García has gone through several difficult moments during his professional baseball career, but at 31 years of age, he still has the necessary conditions to shine in any Major League team.
The Venezuelan outfielder signed with Jeter’s team for an annual salary of $12 million. That is an important amount considering that we are talking about one of the teams that spends the least on payroll in the MLB.
In the 2021 campaign, playing for the Milwaukee Brewers, Garcia hit 29 homers with 86 RBIs.
