Last weekend's sweep notwithstanding, the Miami Marlins are feeling good about themselves here in mid-July. By some measures, this is the best Marlins team we've seen since 2023; by most measures, it's the best in more than a decade. How have they racked up so many wins already, and what needs to happen for them to stay on track for a postseason berth? During the final week of pre-All-Star break action, Fish On First staffers were invited to answer five of my burning questions about the state of the franchise. Thanks to Louis Addeo-Weiss, Kevin Barral, Sean McCormack, Sean Millerick, Daniel Rodriguez and Hector Rodriguez for their participation in the following roundtable. 1. How do the 2026 Marlins compare to what you expected entering the season? Ely Sussman: My foremost concern entering the season was that Marlins first basemen would be a huge liability. It was trending in that direction early on, but booting Christopher Morel and Connor Norby from the position in favor of Kyle Stowers and Liam Hicks has made a world of difference. I never could've expected Otto Lopez to emerge as one of the sport's very best players or Max Meyer to find such consistency as a starter. On the negative side, it's hard to believe the Marlins have endured with Jakob Marsee collapsing to replacement-level production and Pete Fairbanks being even worse than that. Overall, they're slightly better than an average team when I envisioned slightly below average. Kevin Barral: The expectation was that they would be around where they were in 2025, with some potential regression. Clearly they surpassed everyone's expectations thanks to their month of June and nice start in July, sitting seven games over .500 at the break. Louis Addeo-Weiss: I had my reservations, but given how well they’re playing despite certain key pieces like Marsee and Fairbanks being overall liabilities, should those two get it going, they could genuinely win the NL East. Hector Rodriguez: They have been much better as they have one of the best records in MLB. Sean McCormack: The lineup has far surpassed expectations, although the metrics on the pitching staff have been strong. I believe the offseason trade of Ryan Weathers and poor signing of Chris Paddack will hurt as the season goes on due to lack of MLB starting depth. Daniel Rodriguez: My expectations for the Marlins coming into the 2026 season were fairly high based on their final record last season. I think they’ve done far better than what I actually expected them to do, especially in the offensive category, at the catching position and the breakout of Max Meyer. Sean Millerick: Well, they are definitely winning more than I expected. I didn't think enough had been done in the offseason to improve, or even to survive regression from 2025. On the regression front, Jakob Marsee has had a far more challenging 2026 than I imagined, while the plan for first base coming into the year went just as horribly as we all thought it would. And yet...the Marlins are playing their best baseball of the last ten years. A positive run differential? Never saw that coming. Liam Hicks doing his best impression of being a franchise cornerstone? Knock me over with Esteury Ruiz. The only negative for me here is Pete Fairbanks. I really believed—and not just on account of having the same music tastes. Certainly I thought him pitching at an All-Star level would be the key to a Marlins breakout, along with similarly strong efforts from Robby Snelling and/or Thomas White. None of that happened, and the Fish still might be better than I ever thought they could be in 2026. Go figure. 2. By any measure, Otto Lopez has been the team's most valuable player. Who would you say is second on that list? Ely: Max Meyer. He and Sandy Alcantara have been crucial to the club all season long given the constant anxiety about starting rotation depth. Alcantara tops him—and every other MLB pitcher—in innings, but the difference in run prevention tips the scale in Meyer's favor. He's been equally good against right-handed and left-handed batters, unbothered by traffic on the bases and trustworthy when given a long leash to work through the sixth and seventh. Although I think Meyer will regress a bit after the break, I can't take anything away from what he has accomplished thus far. Kevin: Max Meyer has clearly been the Marlins' most valuable pitcher. He may not be an ace by any means, but his consistency and ability to keep the Marlins in games is a reason as to why the Marlins are where they are. One other name I'd like to mention is Joe Mack. The value he has provided this team behind the plate has been game-changing. If he keeps this up, Mack will appear on National League Rookie of the Year ballots. Louis: Max Meyer, especially considering no one forecasted this level of improvement. Hector: Probably Max Meyer. He’s the other All-Star and has had a major breakout season. Sean McCormack: Xavier Edwards has shored up the middle infield beside Otto, creating an elite shortstop-second base combo. He would be my second-most valuable player. Daniel: I would say it’s the player who also made the All-Star team in Max Meyer. He has easily been the best pitcher on the team. I would also include Joe Mack in the conversation as the team has completely turned around since his arrival. Sean Millerick: Otto is definitely the answer for the top spot, but it speaks to the surprising quality of this 2026 club how much competition there is for that second spot. The Marlins MVP runner-up has to be Joe Mack. So much has been written on this across multiple platforms over the past couple weeks, but it has been absolutely remarkable how transformational Mack's arrival has been for this team. Indeed, when it comes to a new Marlins player making an immediate impact like this, he's on a very short list already, and could be at the top by season's end. He's in D-Train territory. 3. Agustín Ramírez, Graham Pauley and Connor Norby have all been demoted to the minors. Which of them do you think is most likely to turn their season around? Ely: It's head-scratching that both Ramírez and Norby are down in Triple-A right now while inferior righty bats Rece Hinds and Brian Navarreto occupy active roster spots. That will change relatively soon, especially if Norby continues to get reps as an outfielder. Norby's process at the plate looked good back in April and we know there's more power potential than he's shown in games so far this year. Being a versatile defender is almost as important as being a good defender because it creates a path to semi-regular playing time, so I'll go with Norby. Kevin: Tough question, but I think it's Pauley. He has already proven that he can turn a season around, like we saw in 2025. I think his second demotion to Triple-A was a bit unfair given the nice series he had in St. Louis and he should've been given a longer leash with how rough Miami's third base situation has been. Ramírez would be second, but what kept him from being the most likely candidate is that he is still a full-time catcher. He needs to be moved off the position. Louis: Each have their own strengths, yet they’re largely overshadowed by their warts. Pauley’s defensive aptitude and potential for more from his bat make him feel the appropriate choice here. Hector: If the Marlins finally decide to move Agustín Ramírez away from catcher, I think he can be a very productive power bat for Miami’s lineup. Sean McCormack: I would wager Agustín Ramírez due to the potential he has at the plate. Daniel: Connor Norby. Sean Millerick: Pauley would be my answer for now. He's capable of providing the best defense at the team's weakest position, and showed last season that he can put together enough of a run to contribute on offense as well. However, if the team goes out and gets a third baseman, he'd suddenly become the least likely of the three to even return to Miami's roster at all in 2026. Norby has enough position flexibility that he just needs an opening somewhere, and Owen Caissie might have just provided it if he ends up missing all of July. Ramirez is firmly in third, at least until he stops playing catcher. 4. How would you evaluate Clayton McCullough as a manager through 1.5 seasons on the job? Ely: I can understand why the Marlins hired McCullough in the first place. He is very disciplined and completely aligned with the front office, even when their strategies are unorthodox and unsatisfying to watch. Also, there is unquestionably some intangible value to keeping peace in the clubhouse, and the Marlins have been drama-free during his tenure, as far as we can tell. McCullough has been responsible for some atrocious in-game substitutions and he's never contrite about them. I'd like to see growth in that area—simply being able to admit he made the wrong call under high stress and will learn from it, rather than insisting he has full conviction every time. Kevin: So far, it's been a mixed bag. Clearly, the organization has made it a point to lean into platoon splits when putting together lineups, sitting some of their hottest hitters as a result. Those moves have worked out for the most part, as the Marlins lineup against left-handed pitching has improved and the pinch-hitting has been good. What this entire coaching staff lacks at times is feel for the game, with Eury Pérez's perfect-game bid on July 5 being the most notable example. The players seem to be fans of McCullough and the rest of the coaching staff and overall have been good. With the Marlins' improvement from one year to the next, McCullough could be in the mix for the National League Manager of the Year award. Louis: I’ve generally resigned myself from giving managers too much credit, instead reserving praise for the front office and all of the behind the scenes folk. That said, the team is clearly more competent under this current regime. Hector: I’d give him a B. The team is playing very well, but he still makes some questionable decisions when it comes to pitching. Sean McCormack: B overall. Clayton appears to have a firm grip of the clubhouse, the roster plays hard for him, but questionable lineup construction more so than bullpen decisions leave me wanting more. Daniel: There have been a lot of ups and a lot of downs in Clayton‘s tenure as Marlins manager for the past year and a half. The way the team is performing right now makes it easier to rate Clayton’s tenure more favorably. Sean Millerick: Like all of us, he's a work in progress? Zen take aside, this remains the hardest thing for me to put my finger on for the Marlins. I'm old school enough to think he has to have played a part in building the scrappy, competitive, hard-working, in-every-game-until-the-end clubhouse that has emerged. So for that, he deserves full kudos. Where I get confused is how much control he really has over some of those decisions that get both the most praise and the most scrutiny. On the one hand, I would love it if I felt there were more moments where he looked at the front office spreadsheet and said, "No thanks. Sandy is built different." Or that history matters. Or simply that he's watched Calvin Faucher pitch. But on the other hand, if those spreadsheets say something will work out 60% of the time, he should probably always do that. It's just unfortunate for McCullough that he's had a couple stretches where the 40% outcome came in bunches. Short answer is a B, but like any good Peter Bendix staffer, I need more data. 5. Any specific names who you believe the Marlins should pursue prior to next month's MLB trade deadline? Ely: Los Angeles Angels left-hander Reid Detmers. He'd bring much-needed swing-and-miss ability to the Marlins rotation. Despite a 4.39 ERA this season (95 ERA+), Detmers has made strides with his control, and on his best days, he's completely dominant. Also, he showed in 2025 that he can be valuable out of the bullpen if needed in that capacity. Crucially for the Marlins, he is under club control through 2028 and will be making far below his market value. I'd be comfortable building a package around pitching prospect Karson Milbrandt to get it done. Kevin: The clear need for the Marlins is at third base, but finding a great right-handed bat on the trade market is tough to do these days. Gleyber Torres could be a name that the Marlins make a trade for. He is on a one-year deal that he took in free agency. He has been hurt for a good chunk of the season, but his past minor league experience at third base and what he can provide in the lineup can truly help this team right now. Our own Louis Addeo-Weiss mentioned Robbie Ray as an option, and I like it. Ray has been good this season and provides length, plus his Giants team will clearly be selling. The sexy move at the deadline would be trading for Aroldis Chapman, who is currently with the Boston Red Sox. It is still unknown if the Red Sox will buy or sell this deadline, but if he is moved, Chapman immediately becomes the closer in Miami to fortify an already-good Marlins bullpen. Louis: Aroldis Chapman, Robbie Ray, Matt Chapman. Time for Sherman to open up the checkbook. Hector: Josh Jung would be an excellent option for the Fish at third base if the Rangers are willing to move him at the trade deadline. Sean McCormack: I would like at least one of three problems I see upgraded: third base (Casey Schmitt), back-end reliever (Garrett Whitlock) and mid-rotation starter on expiring deal (Michael Soroka). Daniel: The name I think the Marlins should look at first is Aroldis Chapman. Sean Millerick: I wouldn't be true to myself if I didn't still say Luis Arraez. All he does is hit, he can play first, and he can even be a backup plan for an Xavier Edwards injury at second now that he's discovered how to play good defense there. Most importantly, though, despite being cursed with left-handedness, he can hit lefties (.321 in 2026, .279 career), which is ultimately all I want from whichever bat Miami does go after. Willson Contreras? Yes, please. Nathaniel Lowe? Still a modest improvement, and one or two modest improvements might be all the Marlins need. Most of the likely third base options don't wow me, so just coming up with better platoon options than Leo Jiménez and Brian Navarreto would be enough to make me happy. Jeff Passan's latest report has me dreaming of Josh Hader in teal, plus it's worth noting that the perennial Marlins trade partner Padres are shopping that Mason Miller guy also. View full article

For much of the 2026 season, the bullpen has been a strength of the Miami Marlins. The unit has leveraged its ample depth and variety of skill sets. Miami's relievers were particularly vital during a record-setting month of June, when the Fish were patching things together with only two conventional starting pitchers at times. Heading into the All-Star break, however, the 'pen is now a source of anxiety. The July 5 implosion in relief of a perfect Eury Pérez was a turning point. A series of significant injuries has compounded the issue—the Marlins are still without a timeline for Anthony Bender's return, while John King, William Kempner and Michael Petersen each got hurt themselves last week. Meanwhile, right-hander Jack Ralston continues to quietly throw up zeroes with Triple-A Jacksonville. If common sense prevails, his next outing will come at the major league level. Ralston is not being "rushed" to the majors in any sense. The St. Louis Cardinals drafted him out of UCLA way back in 2019 and he's been pitching in the upper minors since 2023. A month from now, he'll be turning 29. The Marlins signed Ralston as a minor league free agent this past offseason and he turned heads immediately with six scoreless appearances in spring training. It's been more of the same through 31 games with the Jumbo Shrimp, as his 1.07 ERA leads all Triple-A pitchers with a comparable number of innings. No opponent has plated a run against him since June 18 and he hasn't allowed multiple earned runs at any point this year. His 9.7% walk rate is the best of his professional career. Ralston's arsenal consists of a splitter, four-seam fastball and slider, with the split being his go-to offering. Its overall usage is nearly 50%, accounting for 48 of his 63 total strikeouts (76.1%). It's largely why he has been even more effective against left-handed batters (.432 OPS allowed) than righties (.516 OPS). The only active Marlins arms who use a splitter regularly are Tyler Phillips and Lake Bachar, and neither of them have an over-the-top release like Ralston. Even putting pitch quality aside, the contrast in style between him and his teammates would be valuable. Ralston's fastball velocity is merely average for a righty reliever and he doesn't induce ground balls at a particularly high rate. He's still allowing home runs as often as he did in previous years, hence his nice-but-not-noteworthy 3.52 FIP. Success against MLB competition is far from guaranteed, but under the present circumstances, he deserves an audition with the Marlins. The trade deadline is only three weeks away and the Marlins need to seek reinforcements. In order for them to confidently remove "bullpen help" from their shopping list, they either need rapid recoveries from the aforementioned injured guys or glimpses of excellence from other internal options. There's nothing more that Ralston can do at Triple-A to prove himself—it's time to test him against the top talent on the planet. The only "obstacle" standing in Ralston's way, if you want to call it that, is securing a 40-man roster spot. But the Marlins could go in multiple directions, even without transferring anybody to the 60-day IL. The most straightforward move would be designating fellow reliever Zach Brzykcy for assignment in a corresponding move. Third-string catcher Brian Navarreto and strikeout-prone outfielder Rece Hinds are also DFA candidates, with the Marlins recalling a 40-man bat like Connor Norby or Agustín Ramírez to fill their shoes on the active roster in those scenarios. A theme of the Peter Bendix era has been turning cheap acquisitions into legitimate contributors. Jack Ralston could be the latest example of that. He ought to be promoted once the Marlins resume play on Friday. View full article
