Clayton McCullough on Marlins Turnaround, Eury Pérez Decision & All-Stars

Marlins manager Clayton McCullough joins Joe Rose to discuss Miami’s incredible turnaround after a difficult start to the season and how the team has become one of baseball’s hottest clubs. McCullough talks about the confidence growing throughout the roster, the breakout seasons of All-Stars Otto Lopez and Max Meyer, and how the Marlins have found contributions from players across the entire team rather than relying on one star. He also addresses the decision to pull Eury Pérez after seven perfect innings, admitting he knew the move would be heavily criticized but explaining that protecting Pérez’s long-term health was the priority. McCullough discusses Miami’s plans ahead of the trade deadline, offers high praise for Sandy Alcantara, and highlights the organization’s efforts in the community, including supporting those affected by the earthquakes in Venezuela
