Danny urges everybody to be safe as Hurricane Dorian approaches (1:00). He touches on five steps that the Marlins must take heading into 2020 to present a more competitive product at the major league level (6:15), including real investment in veteran players and hiring Don Mattingly’s replacement. The advanced stats paint a mixed yet slightly encouraging picture of Isan Díaz as a major leaguer (32:30). Expect better results in September than we saw in August. 

Newly recalled Robert Dugger seized Pitcher of the Week honors in his Marlins Park debut (41:00). Meanwhile, Starlin Castro, Jorge Alfaro and Harold Ramirez all had offensive impact (44:50), though most of that production went for naught during a 1-6 week.
