The Story in 60 Seconds

The Miami Marlins have started their offseason by restructuring their 40-man roster, adding six pitchers while removing nine players to leave five open spots. Christina De Nicola reports that these recent adjustments establish Javier Sanoja as the front-runner to start at third base, while Agustín Ramírez is positioned to serve as the backup catcher behind Joe Mack.

Miami also reinstated several pitchers from the 60-day injured list, including Andrew Nardi, who faces uncertainty while recovering from elbow surgery.
