Today’s Marlins news roundup also includes quotes from Jorge Soler.
The Dodgers and old friend Miguel Rojas have agreed on a contract extension through the 2024 season with a 2025 club option (first reported by Daniel Álvarez-Montes of El Extrabase).

Fish Stripes rewinds to one of the most bizarre days of the 2022 Marlins season.
Today, we’re looking back at June 7, 2022. Does that date sound familiar? It was when the Miami Marlins had their mysterious “team meeting” involving manager Don Mattingly and all of the players.
Addressing the media afterwards, Mattingly sounded like he’d been at a funeral. He said he wouldn’t be surprised if the team “came out flat” for their game!
The unthinkable happened in the second...

Immediate minor league success in his professional...Miami acquired Luis Arraez, 25, in the trade that sent right-hander Pablo Lopez, top prospect Jose Salas and minor league outfielder Byron Chourio to Minnesota last month.
