Bride, 29, was part of the Marlins’ 2025 Opening Day roster, serving as the team’s designated hitter. In 12 games, he went 4-for-40 with two RBI, five walks, and three runs scored before being designated for release or assignment on April 15.

Standing 5-foot-11 and weighing 200 pounds, Bride was originally selected by the Oakland Athletics in the 23rd round of the 2018 First-Year Player Draft. Over 181 career Major League games with Oakland (2022-23) and Miami (2024-25), he has recorded a .222 batting average (116-for-522) with 17 doubles, 12 home runs, 54 RBI, 65 walks, one stolen base, 59 runs scored, and a .640 OPS.

The Milwaukee, Wisconsin native has played multiple defensive positions, making appearances at first base (52 games), second base (35 games), third base (63 games), and designated hitter (33 games).

A corresponding 26- and 40-man roster move to accommodate Bride will be announced before Friday night’s game against the Atlanta Braves.
