Marlins Hoping to Keep Brandon Kintzler

The Miami Marlins are entering the offseason with the goal of retaining righty reliver Brandon Kintzler for the 2021 season, according to Sportsgrid’s Craig Mish.

The Marlins hold a $4 million option on Kintzler for next season, or they could exercise the option to buy Kintzler out for $250k, which would send him to the free agent open market.

Kintlser, 36, signed a one-year, $3.25 million pact with the Marlines last offseason and turned in a solid campaign in 2020, pitching to the tune of a 2.22 ERA while converting 12 of 14 save opportunities.
