Final Marlins lineup & roster projection, full Spring Breakout coverage

Enjoy new episodes of our Miami Marlins livestreams throughout 2026 spring training. Every week, Fish On First staffers answer your questions and provide in-depth analysis of the team leading up to Opening Day.  

Thursday's show was hosted by Jeremiah Geiger and featured panelists Ely Sussman, Kevin Barral and Alex Carver. The following topics were covered:

• Javier Sanoja and Team Venezuela winning the World Baseball Classic
• Notable prospect performances from the Marlins' Spring Breakout game
• Where Esteury Ruiz, Griffin Conine and Heriberto Hernández stand in the club's Opening Day roster plans
• Braxton Garrett and Miami's alternatives for the final starting rotation spot

You can find Fish Unfiltered and Fish On First LIVE on the Fish On First YouTube channel, Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever else you get your pods.

Barring any injuries over the next week, there appear to be 29 players (bolded below) in the running for the 26 Marlins active roster spots. It is a good problem to have considering that all of the players who are "on the bubble" have minor league options left, so they won't be booted from the organization unless the front office receives a compelling trade offer.

Our next FOF livestream will be a two-hour countdown to Marlins Opening Day from 5:00-7:00 p.m. ET on Friday, March 27.
