Miami Marlins: Edward Mujica Has 'Sup Girl' T-Shirts Made for Teammates

As you probably know, there's plenty of down time for major leaguers during spring training.

When ballplayers aren't working out or playing a few innings in exhibition games, they might be playing golf. Or fishing. Or in the case of Florida Marlins reliever Edward Mujica, they're making t-shirts for teammates.

As described by MLB.com's Joe Frisaro, Mujica had orange t-shirts designed with the words "Sup Girl" on the front. The phrase is above a drawing of the top half of a baseball.

In what could probably be classified as a team-building exercise, Mujica printed up seven shirts for his teammates, each with the individual's nickname and jersey number on the back.

Is there any chance Mujica will have a t-shirt made for the former Leo Nunez, Juan Carlos Oviedo? Oviedo is still in the Dominican Republic, waiting for a work visa after immigration officials discovered he was in the United States using a fake name. Joking aside, he and Mujica are good friends, so maybe Oviedo does have a t-shirt waiting for him.

Maybe this was Mujica's way of celebrating his new role as the Marlins' eighth-inning reliever, setting up closer Heath Bell. More than anything else, the t-shirt is a personal statement for Mujica, as he told Frisaro.

"

“That’s my favorite phrase ever,” said Mujica, one of the fun-loving players in the clubhouse. ”Sup, how you doin’? The shirt is like baseball, and my favorite [saying]. I want to get everybody’s nickname, and make 18 more t-shirts.”

"

I suppose we can all be grateful Mujica's favorite phrase isn't "WAASSSUP???"

Mujica will make 18 more t-shirts for the rest of his teammates, but is waiting until the team's regular season roster is set.
