2025-26 fall/winter ball updates on Marlins players

[Ely Sussman]

Over the course of the 2025-26 offseason, 22 players from the Miami Marlins organization traveled the world and continued to get game reps, furthering their development and/or compensating for time they missed over the summer. In addition to the Arizona Fall League, they found work in the Dominican Republic, Venezuela, Puerto Rico, Mexico and Australia.

This page includes any Marlins offseason acquisitions who were fall/winter ball participants. Likewise, players who departed the organization in recent months via free agency, trade or waivers were removed.

Player names are linked to their Baseball-Reference pages. Hitters are listed at the positions they played in fall/winter ball, even if they've been used differently by the Marlins organization. Click to see their full fall/winter ball history.

I was pleased to watch Conine play last night in the DR. Am I not correct that the Dominican League was available on MLB.tv in the past without a postseason surcharge? Now, there is such an additional fee, pushing me over to YouTube for the game.

At least for my account, it is being offered the same way as last year directly through MLB. If you scroll far down on this page for the "Dominican Winter League" section, it should have direct links to all live games.

Thank you. I will try it through your link on my desktop and laptop.  On my TV, there are padlock symbols on the Dominican League games, so worth a check-in with support. I had a weird blackout episode earlier in the year that support fixed quickly.

Ely, I hope you're doing well.  You and your team continue to do a terrific job with Fish on First. It is literally my "Go To" for everything Marlins.

In the Where are They Now section, I was in Puerto Rico earlier this week watching Matt pitch for the Gigantes de Carolina against Ponce.  I got to see Jacob Berry play, which was cool, he was 1-2 with a walk.  However, Matt won the battle that day as he pitched 7 scoreless innings and they won 6-0. :) 

Keep up the great work !!

I have to take a little bit of a breath here, but I'm feeling that we are not done with Jacob Berry just yet.  First base, third base, switch hitter.  Some times  it takes some time.
