Following 2024 draft and active trade deadline, Marlins make massive cuts

Ely Sussman · August 2, 2024

Creating room for newly acquired prospects necessitated some painful corresponding roster moves.

The quality of the Miami Marlins farm system is much improved from what it was just a few weeks ago. During what's been a nightmarish season at the major league level, the organization has moved aggressively to flip productive big leaguers for prospects who have the potential to capably fill their shoes in the near future.

However, it is not possible to simply stockpile players. Roster spots on domestic minor league affiliates are finite. Bringing in new talent requires parting with familiar faces, even those who still have a path to eventually contribute in the majors.

Since the final week of July, the following Marlins minor leaguers have been released. This list will continue to be updated through August 6.
