(Photo by Rob Carr/Getty Images)   After a blistering MLB debut in 2020, the Miami Marlins appeared to have a pitching star in Sixto Sanchez. His arrow was definitely pointing up that year after posting a solid 3.46 ERA in 39 innings, with 33 strikeouts. But then he injured his shoulder and required surgery. Further complications in his recovery, conditioning issues, and other problems contributed to the right-hander not pitching in the majors after that promising debut four years ago. When Sanchez reported to spring training this year, he didn’t look in the best shape. However, he has be ..read more

(Photo by Mark Brown/Getty Images)   The Miami Marlins won 84 games and made last year’s playoffs. They were ousted early in the postseason, though, and it quickly became clear that it was not their year. Offseason acquisitions weren’t overly significant: only Tim Anderson is projected to be a starter from their haul. Christian Bethancourt, Vidal Brujan, and Nick Gordon all have some potential, but are projected to be bench players. For a team that just lost Jorge Soler and his power output, it is important to add some home-run pop to their lineup. There are some promising minor leaguers ..read more

(Photo by Mark Brown/Getty Images)   The Miami Marlins, despite losing Jorge Soler and other contributors, haven’t really made much noise in the 2023-24 offseason. They just added three pieces that project to be part of their bench: Vidal Brujan, Christian Bethancourt, and Nick Gordon. They are, however, interested in adding a shortstop via free agency. According to MLB insider Jon Morosi, they already made an offer to a potential starter there. “The Marlins have offered Tim Anderson a contract to be their primary shortstop, source confirms. Anderson, 30, has made all but 2 of his @MLB st ..read more

(Photo by Eric Espada/Getty Images)   The Miami Marlins are known for their stingy ways. They don’t usually have a spending spree in any offseason, and they are cautious of their finances to the point in which their fans are often frustrated. This year, they couldn’t agree with Jazz Chisholm Jr. on his 2024 salary. Since neither party was willing to budge, they ended up going to salary arbitration. The team ended up winning the case, according to MLB insider Jon Heyman. “Marlins win arbitration case with Jazz Chisholm. He will be paid $2.625M rather than the $2.9M he sought,” he tweeted ..read more

(Photo by Rich Storry/Getty Images)   There might not be a player in today’s MLB with better bat-to-ball skills than Miami Marlins infielder Luis Arraez. Say what you want about Arraez’s defense, or game power for that matter. He is not the perfect player. However, when it comes to putting the ball in play and putting the bat on the ball, he is as elite as they come. MLB uploaded a cool video on their social media channels showing some of Arraez’s hitting exercises in the batting cage. In the video, you can see some of his most obvious traits: balance, hand-eye coordination, contact, and ..read more

(Photo by Megan Briggs/Getty Images)   We have enjoyed a few months of the MLB offseason now, but that doesn’t mean it’s close to over. To the contrary: there are still big fish available both in the pitching and position player departments. Blake Snell and Cody Bellinger remain unsigned, just to have some perspective on things. And, in addition to available free agents, there are also players who could be had via trade. The Miami Marlins have been really active in trade talks, even though they haven’t made any impactful deals yet. The whole league has asked them about their pitchers: Jes ..read more

(Photo by Mark Brown/Getty Images)   The Miami Marlins gave a masterclass on resource optimization this past season. They were 84-78 with a very low payroll and virtually no offense beyond Luis Arraez and Jorge Soler, yet they were able to make the postseason for the first time since 2020. They fell in the first round, but showed the world that a low-budget team can make the postseason if they are smart, committed, and make the right investments. Unfortunately, the Marlins believed that another person could perform the job better than Kim Ng, and a split took place. The Marlins hired Pete ..read more

(Photo by Steph Chambers/Getty Images)   In one of the closest races we have had in recent history, Miami Marlins skipper Skip Schumaker took home the first NL Manager of the Year award of his career. Considering it was his first year as a major league manager, he can say he has 100 percent efficiency so far. Schumaker led the Marlins to the postseason with a limited roster, a mediocre offense, and a low payroll. He worked his magic to finish with an 84-78 record and narrowly beat the 83-79 Chicago Cubs for one of the last Wild Card spots in the National League. In the minds of voters, th ..read more

(Photo by Megan Briggs/Getty Images)   The Tampa Bay Rays have been MLB’s premier franchise when it comes to doing a lot with little resources. They routinely rank near the bottom of the league in total payroll, yet they always find a way to compete because they produce their own players to their liking. They know what to prioritize and how to improve certain processes when it comes to scouting and player development. They might not spend a lot on free agents, but they create their own stars and always make sure to prioritize and generate quality depth. Off the field, at the front office ..read more
