William Kempner News: Joins 40-man roster

The Marlins selected Kempner's contract from Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday.

Kempner was acquired from the Giants last winter in exchange for international bonus pool space, and the Marlins won't leave him exposed to potentially being selected during the upcoming Rule 5 Draft. Across three minor-league levels in 2025, the 24-year-old pitched to a 2.26 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 95:40 K:BB over 67.2 innings.
