Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Aiming for 60 stolen bases
Xavier Edwards said Friday that his goal is to steal 60 bases this season, Isaac Azout of FishOnFirst.com reports.Edwards pilfered 31 bags while being caught only four times over 70 games with the Miami Marlins in 2024, so it's not unreasonable to think he could get to 60 stolen bases in 2025 if he has a full, healthy season. The 25-year-old speedster is light on power but should be an asset in the steals and batting average categories in 2025.

Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Shoulder feeling much better
Xavier Edwards said earlier this month of his right shoulder that it's the "best it's felt in years" since he began a new throwing program this offseason, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.Edwards first suffered a right shoulder impingement back in 2022 and had resigned himself to having to throw through discomfort. However, after working with Miami Marlins director of catching Maxx Garrett on a new throwing program, Edwards said "it's not bothering me to throw at all" anymore. The shoulder issue didn't seem to impact Edwards at the plate in 2024, as he slashed .328/.397/.423 with one homer and 31 stolen bases in 70 games for the Marlins. However, being free and easy in all phases of his game can only help the 25-year-old's prospects heading into 2025.

Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Settling back into everyday role
Xavier Edwards will start at shortstop and bat leadoff in Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.Edwards was mysteriously out of the lineup for three consecutive games last Tuesday through Thursday, presumably due to an unreported injury.
