The team has come together in a way we haven’t seen in a while,” said Martinez.
“These guys are so good already, and yeah, they will improve. Kirby and Gilbert are at the top of young pitchers in Major League Baseball and Julio Rodriguez is a superstar, so we couldn’t be more excited about that young core,” said Martinez.
