One of the reasons why the Miami Marlins couldn't quite call themselves "contenders" in 2026 was their pitching staff was too thin. With MLB free agency beginning shortly, AJ Ramos, Kevin Barral, Isaac Azout and Ely Sussman take turns picking potential reinforcements for Miami's starting rotation and bullpen. After signing Pete Fairbanks, Chris Paddack and John King from last winter's free agent class, there's nowhere to go but up!
