First Pitch 3:05 Podcast

Welcome to the First Pitch: 305 Podcast! Glad you all can join and listen to all the baseball talk with Alex Aguirre, Miami Marlins contributor for Lemon City Live. 

The first-ever episode of First Pitch: 305 had Alex embark on his podcast journey with Co-Host of the Evening Juice with Lemon City Live, Edwin Garcia, and Emmy Award-winning editor, Danis Sosa. Two die-hard Miami Marlins fans that just flat love the game! 

The guys talked about the current state of the Marlins with a 13-16 record filled with tough one-run losses. They talked about Miami's busy offseason and the free agents they signed underperforming so far this season. 

Was the Marlins' offseason spending spree enough to compete in the NL East? Alex, Edwin and Danis break down the division and determine if the Marlins will be buyers or sellers if they are hanging around in the race by the trade deadline. Maybe a trade to help a depleted bullpen could help? 

Episode one is rounded off with the guys talking about what's next for the Fish in their schedule and the face of the franchise: Jazz Chisholm Jr. 

Can you remember a free agent signing the Marlins had that actually panned out well?
