The timing of the deal was not random—the Marlins had just reached an agreement with free agent Pete Fairbanks and needed to make a corresponding move to open up a 40-m...3214Tue, 30 Dec 2025 23:00:00 +0000https://fishonfirst.com/news-rumors/marlins-minor-league/prospects-robby-snelling-thomas-white-comparison-2026/The Miami Marlins have a two-headed, left-handed-pitching monster rapidly approaching the big leagues after wreaking havoc down on the farm. Robby Snelling led all minor league southpaws with 166 strikeouts in 2025. He spent half of his season with Triple-A Jacksonville, making 11 starts for the...3206Sun, 21 Dec 2025 13:45:00 +0000https://fishonfirst.com/news-rumors/marlins-minor-league/rule-5-draft-2025-analysis-jake-smith-livan-reinoso/Any player left unprotected for the minor league phase of the Rule 5 draft is an extreme longshot. It means they are at least four years into their professional career, yet still don't occupy a spot on their team's 40-man roster or Triple-A roster. There is something—usually, multiple things—hol...3179Thu, 11 Dec 2025 11:56:00 +0000https://fishonfirst.com/news-rumors/marlins-minor-league/prospects-rule-5-draft-protection-2025/It isn't very often that I'm in full agreement with the Miami Marlins on roster moves, but Tuesday was an exception. They selected catcher Joe Mack and right-handers Josh White and William Kempner to their 40-man roster, protecting them from next month's MLB Rule 5 draft. To clear a spot on the...3127Tue, 18 Nov 2025 22:55:00 +0000https://fishonfirst.com/news-rumors/marlins-minor-league/prospects-rule-5-draft-protection-fringe-candidates-2025/I have already shared my thoughts on Rule 5 draft-eligible Miami Marlins players Joe Mack, Josh White and William Kempner. Everybody else who is eligible has been listed below, grouped by whichever minor league affiliate's roster they're currently assigned to.

The Miami Marlins have until 6 p.m. ET on Tuesday to decide which of their Rule 5-eligible prospects to select to their 40-man roster. Joe Mack is in a tier of his own—selecting his contract has been an inevitability for months. I placed...3059Mon, 17 Nov 2025 19:07:00 +0000https://fishonfirst.com/news-rumors/marlins-minor-league/prospects-josh-white-rule-5-draft-protection-2025/We know that Joe Mack will be protected by the Miami Marlins prior to Tuesday's deadline for Rule 5 draft-eligible players. Nobody else in the organization should be considered a lock to receive the same treatment, but right-hander Josh White checks almost every box that a relief pitcher can....3030Wed, 12 Nov 2025 19:30:00 +0000https://fishonfirst.com/news-rumors/marlins-minor-league/prospects-joe-mack-rule-5-draft-protection-2025/Next Tuesday is the 2025 Rule 5 draft protection deadline. In my career covering the Miami Marlins, there has never been a more obvious candidate to be protected than Joe Mack. That isn't to say that Mack's development journey has gone perfectly—if that were the case, he would already be in...3057Wed, 12 Nov 2025 11:55:02 +0000https://fishonfirst.com/news-rumors/marlins-minor-league/top-rookie-of-the-year-candidates-2026/In their 33-year history, the Florida/Miami Marlins have produced four National League Rookie of the Year winners—all between 2003 and 2013. Dontrelle Willis claimed the franchise’s first in 2003, followed by rising star Hanley Ramírez in 2006.
