Marlins president of baseball operations Michael Hill said Monday that Meyer will be included in the team's 60-man roster pool once he signs with Miami, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
The No. 3 overall pick in June's first-year player draft is believed to already have a deal in place with Miami, but he has yet to officially put pen to paper on a contract. Once the deal is finalized, Meyer will join the Marlins for their "summer camp," but the right-hander isn't expected to be a factor for Miami once the MLB regular season begins in 2020. Instead, the Marlins' primary motive for including Meyer in their player pool is just to ensure that he's able to continue his development in a team setting with minor-league baseball not expected to be played in 2020.
