Former Cincinnati Reds prospect Christian Roa has elected free agency. Roa made his Major League debut with the Miami Marlins last season. He appeared in two games for the Marlins in 2025 and did not give up a run.
The Miami Marlins have quite a few promising young players on their roster, and one of the positions where they seem to have the most is the starting rotation.
Former Cincinnati Reds No. 15 ranked prospect Christian Roa made his Major League debut earlier this month for the Miami Marlins. Roa pitched two scoreless innings against the Philadelphia Phillies, walking a batter and allowing one hit, while striking out three.
The Miami Marlins selected the contract of right-hander Christian Roa from Triple-A Jacksonville. In corresponding moves, they released right-hander Declan Cronin and placed right-hander Freddy Tarnok on the 15-day injured list.
The Marlins sent right-hander Christian Roa outright to Triple-A Jacksonville, according to the MLB.com transaction log. That drops the team’s 40-man roster count to 37.
The Marlins announced that they have claimed right-hander Christian Roa off waivers from the Reds. Christina De Nicola of MLB.com relayed the claim on X prior to the official announcement.
