Overview

  • Multiple outlets report the agreement, though the Marlins have not issued an official announcement.
  • Financial terms have not been disclosed for the ISE Baseball client.
  • Ken Rosenthal reports Morel is slated to see most of his time at first base for Miami.
  • Morel was non-tendered by the Rays after the 2025 season following a .208/.277/.355 line with 14 home runs and 42 RBIs in 154 games.
  • He was acquired by Tampa Bay from the Cubs at the 2024 trade deadline and is viewed as a power bat with strikeout and defensive questions.
