How should Marlins improve roster for 2026?

I would like to reunite with former Marlins org players Josh Naylor or Lewin Diaz.  

I'm also wondering if the Dodgers would be interested in dumping the Tanner Scott contract on us.  

How to improve in this tenuous year before the CBA?

Look at all internal options for first base before signing a middling free agent. No preconceptions because we have already seen so many of them fall by the wayside. 

Promote Mack as the everyday backstop, a significant improvement at backstop. 

Work the Bendix magic for the bullpen corps. Who will be the next Tinoco or Hernández? Hope that Nardi and Garrett return for the 2026 campaign.

Lastly, while he is high-value and healthy, move Cabrera. 

After the CBA turmoil is over, the Marlins should be in excellent shape, with a very nice window built around the young core of position players and a top starting staff. Let's hope that this time, if the owners are smart, the new agreement will finally include systemic changes that will benefit the Marlins and other lower-revenue teams.
