The destination is the Majors for Marlins prospects Max Meyer and Jake Eder, and they will get a taste on Sunday afternoon at the 2021 SiriusXM All-Star Futures Game in Denver. The 22nd installment will pit National League and American League Minor Leaguers in a seven-inning showcase of baseball s future stars.
Meyer (MLB Pipeline s No. 20 overall prospect) and Eder (Miami s No. 22 prospect) have been on the fast track since the Marlins selected them in the first and fourth rounds of last year s MLB Draft, respectively. Without a Minor League season, it was an atypical start to their professional careers. After signing, Meyer spent time at the alternate training site. Both participated in the fall instructional league. Neither let it get in the way of their development.
