Marlins outfielder Monte Harrison has changed agencies and hired MVP Sports Group as representation, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports. MLBTR has made a note of it in our Agency Database.
Harrison, who turned 25 in August, became a pro when the Brewers chose him in the second round of the 2014 draft. He eventually turned into a top 100 prospect, ranking as Baseball America’s 75th-best farmhand in 2018, though the Brewers traded Harrison to the Marlins in January of that year in part of a deal that delivered outfielder Christian Yelich to Milwaukee. Yelich has since made two All-Star appearances and won an MVP, while the Marlins haven’t gotten much major league value from Harrison or any of the other players they received in the deal.
In fairness to Harrison, this is just his first season at baseball’s top level, so it’s far too soon to determine whether he’ll evolve into a capable major leaguer. He hasn’t produced across his first 47 plate appearances this season, though, having batted .140/.213/.233 with one home run and 24 strikeouts.
Lol reading this at 1am had me thinking it said Monte Farris lol.
Meh
Maybe change swing coaches.
Exactly. Honestly marlins should have never let Barry bonds go/get away
Barry was not a good influence
This is news worth reporting? And listing it first, too. Must really be a slow news day in Southeast Florida.
Anyway, if any of you made a pre-season bet on the Marlins making the playoffs, you are gonna have your wallet. fattened come Sunday night unless they go completely belly up vs. the Yankees.
Even if they end up in a tie with the Phillies for second place in the NL East, they’re in the playoffs by virtue of having a better W-L record in heads up play.
NL East and AL East teams must have figured the Marlins and Orioles would be their cupcake opponents this year. Not so for the Phillies who went a combined 3-10 vs. those two.
The name “Monte Harrison” sounds like somebody out of a 70s disco movie.
Non story
It’s about time!
Monte should have a nice long career as a bench OF player lol. Can become Mike Cameron 2.0 if he ever puts it together.
Well Lewis Brinson is significantly less horrible this year……
