As the Miami Marlins begin turning the page to 2025 and beyond to build a contending product, the team may have found its shortstop of the future in Xavier Edwards.
The speedy, flashy switch hitter, Edwards threw out a runner coming home, dove to keep the ball from going into the outfield and smacked a single to left field in the fifth inning and seventh, as well.
Miami's front office was able to get an in-depth evaluation of Edwards during the 2023 campaign that ended in the Wild Card Series against Philadelphia - confident the infielder would make a positive impact on a game-to-game basis.
Edwards' 2024 season began on the 10-day injured list due to a bacterial infection in his left foot, but his time arrived soon.
