Edwards, Lopez, Conine among 17 Marlins players named to first career Opening Day roster

[Ely Sussman]

Simply being included on the initial active roster is a significant milestone for the vast majority of 2025 Marlins. 

Throughout spring training, we anticipated that the Miami Marlins would enter 2025 with one of Major League Baseball's least-experienced rosters. A handful of untimely injuries have forced them to be even more reliant on neophytes.

Making the Opening Day roster is a new sensation for 17 of the club's 26 active players: Lake Bachar, Valente Bellozo, Griffin Conine, Xavier Edwards, Connor Gillispie, Ronny Henriquez, Liam Hicks, Derek Hill, Otto Lopez, Matt Mervis, Dane Myers, Tyler Phillips, Javier Sanoja, Kyle Stowers, Jesús Tinoco, Anthony Veneziano and Eric Wagaman.

Jonah Bride, Calvin Faucher, Max Meyer, Graham Pauley and George Soriano are going through this for the second time in their careers. Anthony Bender and Nick Fortes are each three-time Opening Day selections. Far and away the most experienced Marlins players are Sandy Alcantara and Cal Quantrill, who are taking part in their sixth Opening Day as big leaguers.

 

Barring setbacks, "veterans" Edward Cabrera and Jesús Sánchez are expected to return from the injured list before the end of April, but considering the strength of the Marlins' early-season opponents, they might already be facing a sizable deficit in the standings by then.

One game, let's relax. Good hit though. If he keeps getting on base, walk or hit, I'll admit I was wrong.
