I am getting more than a little upset that we are not giving Mr. Johnston a chance. I would love an explanation of what is going on and not the tired, old these guys know what they are doing.

There is no doubt that he would have a decent batting average in the majors. I think the team doesn't trust him in the other aspects of the game (his power, fielding and defense).

I wanted him to get a chance at the end of 2023. He might've gotten one this past season if Jonah Bride had failed. Unfortunately, looks like the Marlins have now fully shut the door on him.

He might've had a chance, if the Marlins didn't trade for 1B/DH type prospects like Agustin Ramirez and Deyvision De Los Santos while still having Jake Burger and Jonah Bride on their roster.
