The Marlins Already Had Their Shortstop

[Slacker Mills]

This commentary came from MLB Pipeline in 2019 regarding the Diamondbacks #3 prospect Jazz Chisholm Jr.: There is little question Chisholm can stay at shortstop, with good hands and actions to go along with a strong arm and a knack for making highlight-reel plays on a nightly basis. Those loud tools on both sides of the ball in turn give him an exceptional ceiling as a big league shortstop, but he'll need to tighten up his overall game along the way.

When Jazz was acquired by the Marlins, he was presumed to be franchise SS for years ahead. He started at 2B only because Miguel Rojas was still manning SS with Gold Glove ability. However, after Rojas left in the Dodgers trade, Chisholm remained at 2B, where he was named an All Star. When Arraez was acquired last season, Jazz moved to CF. The question I have been unable to find an answer for is: Why the heck isn't Jazz the Marlins SS?
