MM Weekly Recap: Opening Day is Just Three Weeks Away for Miami Marlins

By Ehsan Kassim |

Three weeks from today, the Miami Marlins will kick of their season in Washington, to take on the Nationals. The World Baseball Classic has entered it’s second round and the first cuts of spring training have already taken place. The season is inching towards us.

As the season approaches, the coverage here on Marlin Maniac will kick into gear as well. We are in the middle of our top prospects list and have already started getting into a routine with the game recaps. Some big news coming today or tomorrow about a new staff member being added onto the team as well.

What I can announce today is our new social media manager, Will Stanifer:
