Overview
- The club released a 27-player non-roster list for big-league camp in Clearwater at BayCare Ballpark.
- Top prospects Justin Crawford and Aidan Miller headline the group, joined by 2024 first-round pick Dante Nori.
- Team reporting positions Crawford as the frontrunner for Opening Day center field, with a .322 minor-league average and noted ground-ball and defensive concerns.
- Miller is not expected to make the Opening Day roster, with a summer call-up possible if injuries or underperformance create an infield opening.
- Veteran Bryan De La Cruz, coming off Dominican Winter League MVP honors, will compete to be Brandon Marsh’s left-field platoon partner.
