Podcast: What we’ll be watching for when Miami Marlins open spring training next week

The offseason is just about finished.

And that means spring training is just around the corner.

Miami Marlins pitchers and catchers start reporting to the team’s complex Jupiter as early as Monday, with the first full pitchers and catchers workout set for Feb. 16 and the first full-squad workout on Feb. 21.

And the Marlins have plenty of topics to follow over the course of the month and half before Opening Day on March 30 against the New York Mets.

Some are obvious — like how Skip Schumaker handles his first camp as manager and how Jazz Chisholm Jr. adjusts to center field.

There are a slew of other individual stories to track, too, like the top prospects heading to their first big-league camp in Eury Perez, Dax Fulton and Jacob Berry. Or what to make of Sixto Sanchez after two lost years. Or how the back of the bullpen shakes out.

And, of course, the World Baseball Classic, which overlaps with the back half of spring training.

On the latest episode of Fish Bytes, Miami Herald deputy sports editor Andre Fernandez joins Marlins beat writer Jordan McPherson to preview spring training.
