We are only a few days into the 2024 international signing period, but it's never too soon to look ahead. On Friday, Joe Doyle of FSS Plus reported that the Miami Marlins are the favorites to land third baseman/outfielder Andrew Salas in 2025. On Saturday, ESPN's Enrique Rojas confirmed the agreement. Salas will get a signing bonus of nearly $4M. The 15-year-old switch-hitter is listed at 6'1", 140 pounds, according to Perfect Game. Andrew will be the third Salas brother to be signed by a big league team. Infielder Jose Salas signed with the Marlins for $2.8M as the top player in their 2019 international class. He was traded to the Minnesota Twins exactly one year ago as part of the Luis Arraez package. Catcher Ethan Salas signed with the San Diego Padres for $5.6M in 2023 and is already among the highest-rated prospects in all of baseball. The Salas brothers were born in Florida, but later moved to Venezuela, allowing them to begin their professional careers at a younger age. andrew salas hitting october 2022.mp4 In recent years, the Marlins have preferred quantity over quality in international free agency. Venezuelan OF Luis Cova is their only signing since 2022 to receive more than $1M. This represents a switch in that philosophy because paying Andrew will limit their bonus pool flexibility to make additional signings in 2025. Salas will receive the largest payday for a Marlins international signing since Victor Victor Mesa ($5.25M in 2018).

Right-handed pitcher Ike Buxton began 2023 way under the radar, but made a name for himself by succeeding in a starting role and reaching the Double-A level. Buxton posted a 2.45 ERA, 8.5 K/9, 5.0 BB/9 in 77.0 innings pitched in the Marlins minor league system, making the most impact with Low-A Jupiter (1.62 ERA in 39.0 IP) . "My mindset throughout the whole year was, 'What can I do to get to the next level?'" said Buxton when reflecting on 2023. "I think a lot of people focus on, 'Okay, I need to be a big leaguer,' and obviously, I think a lot of people want to have that attitude and it's not a bad attitude to have, but I think throughout the year my big focal point was, 'What can I do to get to the next level?' and that's going to change from Jupiter, especially being an older guy. My main focus was just being consistent. They needed me to just be in the zone a little more than I traditionally have and consistent when I get to the next level, you can kind of apply it a little bit." Buxton, along with seven other Marlins minor leaguers, went to the Arizona Fall League. In 17 ⅔ innings pitched, Buxton posted a 6.11 ERA, struck out 19 hitters and walked 10. Although the Marlins prospect didn't find too much overall success in the AFL, Buxton felt it allowed him to improve as an overall prospect. "I was fortunate enough to have a pretty decent year and had a very enjoyable time out in Arizona," said Buxton. All signs point to Buxton opening up his age-23 season with Double-A Pensacola, as he was at Blue Wahoos Stadium on Thursday for the team's annual Fish Fest. Before that, the 2022 draft pick will be going through his first regular Spring Training as a pro player. "I was out for a month or two, but hit the ground a little late," said Buxton. "I was still able to catch up with everyone and make some strides in terms of just holding that routine again to stay healthy and that's going to be my big focus for this upcoming year." The Blue Wahoos will be seeking a berth in the Southern League Championship Series for the third straight year.

MIAMI, FL—As announced last week, the Pedro Martinez Foundation and the Miami Marlins Foundation are partnering up throughout the 2024 Serie del Caribe. Before going on to establish himself as a Hall of Famer in the United States, Martinez played winter ball early in his professional career. He is passionate about the Caribbean Series itself as well as baseball all around the world. "We're here in Miami, which is such a mixed city," said Martinez. "I think [Miami] brings a beautiful opportunity for everybody to understand better why we so loud, so happy, so excited about playing the game and I think that culture needs to really be exposed. I think people need to understand how much we care about the youth." Martinez also touched on what type of atmosphere we can expect during these games. "I think the Caribbean Series is gonna bring a lot of people just like the (World Baseball Classic) did," said Martinez. "I think there's a lot of work to be done. Some of the players that got picked up because they didn't win—some of them especially in the Dominican—they're gonna be really excited to be here and try to improve." Considered one of the favorites to win the 2023 WBC, the Dominican Republic failed to advance past the group stage of the tournament, which was also held at LoanDepot Park. A Dominican himself, Pedro recalled how enjoyable the experience was despite his team's disappointing performance. "What we saw was very unique and I'm extremely happy to help bring over that warm sensation that we had in the Classic," said Martinez. "It was beautiful to watch each game. Even the games that Dominican didn't win or Puerto Rico didn't win or Venezuela, it was beautiful baseball, beautiful respectful games that we saw. We're hoping to bring that over here in Miami." La Serie del Caribe begins with a tripleheader of games on Thursday, February 1 (Nicaragua vs. Puerto Rico, Curacao vs. Mexico and Venezuela vs. Dominican Republic).

MIAMI, FL—With la Serie del Caribe set to be begin on February 1, the specific teams aren't yet set, but Fish On First had an exclusive interview with the ambassador of the event, MLB legend Vladimir Guerrero. The Hall of Famer gave his thoughts on LoanDepot Park as the host site and what to expect from the tournament. "Well, I feel happy that the Marlins gave me the opportunity to be the ambassador for la Serie del Caribe and to spend time here in Miami," said Guerrero when FOF spoke to him last April. This will be the first time that this tournament is taking place in a major league park and the first time since 1991 that it's moving outside of Latin America. Although the hype surrounding the event isn't to the extreme level of the World Baseball Classic, Guerrero believes that there could be a similar atmosphere if the stadium fills up. "We want fans to come to see our players that come from the Caribbean to see how they enjoy it now that there will be different music," said Guerrero. "I think that's what we are trying to do: to have fans come and enjoy the games." Photo courtesy of supervlad27/InstagramGuerrero is no stranger to la Serie del Caribe, as he previously played in it. "I only played in it for one year in 2002 in Venezuela," said Guerrero. "I felt happy. It was the only time I went, but I think this one is going to be much better because there are going to be a lot younger players and sharing this event is what we try to do, for the fans to come see our latin players here in Miami."

Monday marked the beginning of MLB's 2024 international signing period. The Miami Marlins opened it up by signing 21 new players for a total of $4.765M in bonuses, highlighted by Venezuelan outfielder Luis Cova ($1.4M bonus). In his second year as a Marlins assistant GM, Oz Ocampo is temporarily overseeing the organization's international operations. He spoke to the media once these signings were made official. Full list of Monday's signings via Marlins Communications"I told our international staff this morning that I was just very thankful for all their efforts to get to this day," said Ocampo. He singled out Román Ocumarez (director of international scouting), David Hernandez-Beayne (assistant director of international scouting), Manny Padron (international crosschecker) and Adrian Puig (international crosschecker), and also Adrian Lorenzo, Miami's former senior director of international operations. Lorenzo declined to renew his contract with the Marlins last fall in order to pursue his passion in art. https://www.instagram.com/p/C2I2emyP-4A/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA=="I saw most of these players when I was a competitor, when I was seeing these players as an Astro or Pirate," Ocampo added. "I was excited coming into the Marlins. We knew that we were bringing them into the system." Ocampo had high praise for the "wiry, athletic" Luis Cova, who stands at 6'2", 175 pounds. "Evaluated in the infield and saw the actions and athleticism, but when they saw him in the outfield, that's when they really saw the instincts start to come out," said Ocampo. "As they started to see him move in the outfield, they saw that he had a natural feel in the outfield—his jumps, his routes, his ability to close in on balls were really good." Cova is the Marlins' fifth-most expensive signing under the existing international free agent rules. However, history says that doesn't guarantee success as Victor Victor Mesa ($5.25M) is at the top of that list followed by Yiddi Cappe, José Salas and Ynmanol Marinez. Even with all of Monday's activity, the Marlins still have $1.755M remaining in their bonus pool for the 2024 signing period, which runs through December 15. "We do have flexibility to continue to sign players for the remainder of the signing class," said Ocumarez. "That is something that we continue to emphasize from class to class." The Marlins have been busy remaking their front office this offseason under Peter Bendix, but there is no hurry to replace Lorenzo, according to Ocampo. Expect many of these new acquisitions to make their minor league debuts later this year with the Marlins' Dominican Summer League teams. Photo: Miami Marlins

At the start of this offseason, Miami Marlins designated hitter Jorge Soler opted out of the final season of his three-year contract. The Marlins then did not issue him the qualifying offer and rumors about his future have been circulating ever since. This past season, Soler had his second-best career year according to wRC+ as he slashed .250/.341/.512/.853 with 36 home runs, 75 RBIs and and a 126 wRC+. What stood out for the Cuban slugger was his change in approach at the plate, where he struck out at a lower percentage compared to his 2022 season and the second-lowest of his career overall. One of the big keys to Soler's success was the fact that he avoided injury for the majority of the season, being able to play 137 games compared to his 72 games in 2022. Currently, Soler finds himself with the FEPCUBE team as they prepare for the Intercontinental Series in Colombia. On Tuesday, he discussed the upcoming tournament as well as his communication with MLB teams in the free agent market. In that press conference, Jorge Ebro of the Miami Herald asked Soler (in Spanish) if he has had any communication with the Marlins. It was a simple "no" on his part. "At the moment nothing," said Soler. "I am aware of everything. I have a lot of communication with my agent all the time." According to the latest report from Héctor Gómez, the Boston Red Sox, New York Mets, Seattle Mariners, Arizona Diamondbacks and Toronto Blue Jays are among the teams who continue to show interest in Soler, who turns 32 in February. Craig Mish from SportGrid believes that Soler will earn himself a two-year deal, but not with the Marlins. When it comes to the Intercontinental Series, Soler expects to play as long as his next MLB team does not prevent him from participating. Pitchers and catchers are set to report on February 14, so just over a month away and Soler remains as one of the top designated hitters on the free agency market. Photo: Silvio Campos-FEPCUBE

Julián Tavárez, who pitched with the Marlins in the 2002 season, will be inducted into the Caribbean Series Hall of Fame, as announced on Wednesday by the Caribbean Professional Baseball Confederation. He's one of five former players included in the Hall of Fame's class of 2024. The Dominican right-hander participated in the tournament eight times, six times with Águilas Cibaeñas and two times with Tigres del Licey. Through his eight tournament appearances, Tavárez hoisted the Serie del Caribe trophy in five different years (1994, 1997, 1998, 2001 and 2007). Tavárez pitched in parts of 17 MLB seasons from 1993-2009. In his lone Florida Marlins season, he gave them 153 ⅔ innings of work and posted a 5.39 ERA, 4.59 FIP, 3.9 K/9 and 4.3 BB/9. Photo by Andy Lyons/Getty Images"I am pleased with this induction, and for the Caribbean Professional Baseball Confederation," said the commissioner of the Caribbean Professional Baseball Confederation Dr. Juan Francisco Puello Herrera. "It is of a great pride to have such notable figures like César Tovar, Jesús Feliciano, Francisco Campos, Julián Tavárez, and Odell Jones. I had the opportunity to witness most of them play, and it is an honor for me to share this fantastic news with them…This induction holds significant meaning for the CBPC and Caribbean baseball." The induction ceremony is set to take place on February 8 in Miami, coinciding with the Caribbean Series at LoanDepot Park. This will be the first time that the tournament is held at a Major League Baseball stadium.

One of the Marlins players who was most impressive in the 2023 minor league season was infielder Xavier Edwards. Edwards slashed .351/.429/.457/.886 with seven home runs, 47 RBIs, 32 stolen bases and a 130 wRC+. He won the AAA International League batting title and was named the Marlins' AAA MVP with his success in Jacksonville. Edwards received the call that he would be joining the major league team in May, then returned in September where he played more regularly. In his 30 total games of action, he slashed .295/.329/.333/.663 with three RBIs, five stolen bases and a 82 wRC+. Although Edwards didn't hit for any power, he has shown that he can get on base consistently. That starts with being a great contact hitter. With Jacksonville, Edwards' strikeout percentage was 6.9%, the lowest among qualifiers in the International League. As a Marlin, he was at 16.7%. He also drew walks 12.0% of the time in the minors, a rate that would lead all Marlins players if it translates to the major league level. Once he reaches base, Edwards can continue to make an impact with his legs. Combining AAA and MLB, he went 37-for-41 on stolen base attempts last season (90.2% success rate). It is still yet to be determined which positions Edwards will play in 2024. His best spot is second base, but the Marlins have Luis Arraez there on a daily basis. Last month, Edwards told the Marlins Hot Stove Show that he's been working out as a shortstop and outfielder. Our own Ely Sussman went into depth on what we can possibly see with Edwards at shortstop. He got very few reps there in 2023 when playing next to Jacob Amaya and his arm strength is a concern. However, the Marlins don't have a clear starter for the position at the moment, so the opportunity will be there for him to show improvement. https://fishonfirst.com/analysis/xavier-edwards-shortstop-defense/Once the organization can figure out where Edwards will play in 2024, that may help him out in terms of just focusing on one position and getting comfortable at the big league level. If Edwards isn't starting on Opening Day, his speed is still an asset that the Marlins need, especially with them letting Garrett Hampson walk. Jazz Chisholm Jr. is coming off turf toe surgery and former MLB stolen base leader Jon Berti is about to turn 34, plus he played through minor injuries last season. Edwards can provide value late in games as a pinch-runner or pinch-hitter (he always has the platoon advantage as a switch-hitter). When starting, Edwards would most likely find himself in the nine hole (assuming Luis Arraez is the leadoff hitter). It's exciting to think about how much the Marlins offense can improve with full seasons of Jake Burger and Josh Bell and Edwards possibly joining Arraez as a high-average hitter who can consistently get on base in front of them.

Towards the end of the 2023 season, even before Kim Ng's departure as general manager, the Miami Marlins lost a key executive in a surprising way. Senior director of international operations Adrian Lorenzo did not renew his contract, choosing instead to pursue an art career on a full-time basis. "I'm a learner," said Lorenzo. "I like when I get my mind on something, I like to really learn it from as many angles as possible. That's what it's been about for the last couple of years and really exciting. I think Miami is a really, really good place to be for (art)." Lorenzo combined his passions by customizing cleats for Marlins players including Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Jesús Luzardo. Now, the Marlins have to find a replacement. When president of baseball operations Peter Bendix last addressed the media during the Winter Meetings, he mentioned that the organization was still in the interview process. A key date to keep in mind is January 15—that marks the beginning of the 2024 international signing period. Typically, most of the top international prospects finalize their contracts on the 15th, which is only two weeks away. Under Lorenzo and director of international scouting Roman Ocumarez, the Marlins spread out their international bonus pool to sign a large amount of players. The organization moved away from "big-name" prospects, instead going for enough quantity to fill out two Dominican Summer League rosters (DSL Marlins and DSL Miami). None of their signings in 2022 or 2023 received more than $1M. This recent strategy has had some success, most notably with Mexican infielder Marco Vargas. The under-the-radar 2022 acquisition went to the DSL All-Star Game and continued to produce in the FCL before being flipped to the New York Mets in exchange for reliever David Robertson last July. Another pattern has been the Marlins investing in players from the Bahamas. The 2023 class included outfielder Daniel Gaitor and infielder/ Breyias Dean.The reality of the international market is that teams reach agreements to sign players long before they are actually eligible to sign. Even with Lorenzo out of the picture, many of Miami's 2024 signings are going to be players that he helped recruit. "Sharing what I can, I think that it is our best work," said Lorenzo about the Marlins' upcoming free agent class. "I think you're just gonna see the caliber of player, the type of player, the physicality, the athleticism, really strong pitching class, but really strong position players throughout. You got good catching in this group. We got a couple centerfield type profiles that are really going to jump out from the tools and physicality standpoint." Whoever is ultimately hired to lead international operations will have a big say in how the Marlins adjust their approach for 2025 and beyond. Photo Credit: Kevin Barral/Fish On First

Up to this point in the offseason, the Miami Marlins are still yet to sign a free agent to a major league deal. With the new year about to begin, their projected 2024 roster still has clear needs to address. While trades are a strong possibility, it's obviously easier to improve the team when you can acquire new players without giving up anything in return. Fortunately, two full months into the MLB offseason, there are still a lot of free agent names for Miami to choose from. The players in this articles each have some history of major league success yet could be had on short-term, relatively cheap deals that push the Marlins closer to being competitive next season. SS Amed Rosario In 2023, Rosario struggled as he slashed .263/.305/.378/.683 with six home runs, 58 RBIs and an 88 wRC+. He was traded midseason from the Cleveland Guardians to the Los Angeles Dodgers where we was only a part-time player. However, this just seemed like an off year for the Dominican infielder, as in 2022, he slashed .283/.312/.403/.715 with 11 home runs, 71 RBIs and a 105 wRC+. Rosario has been a good contact hitter throughout his career, especially over the last two years. In 2022, he ranked in the 79th percentile among MLB hitters in K%, per Baseball Savant, and in the 74th percentile in 2023. He's also had three straight seasons of double-digit stolen bases—that fits well with the Marlins, who did not run the bases aggressively last season. His defensive struggles at shortstop are worrisome. Rosario went from plus-6 defensive runs saved at SS in 2022 to minus-16 in 2023, and by the time he got to L.A., he was mainly playing second base instead. The hope would be that he bounces back in that area. Entering his age-28 season, Rosario is probably looking for a situation where he could get a starting shortstop job and re-enter free agency next offseason. With former Marlins target Isiah Kiner-Falefa no longer available, he makes plenty of sense for them. SS Adalberto Mondesi Mondesi would certainly be a candidate for a minor league deal with an invite to spring training. He didn't play a single game with the Boston Red Sox last season due to a setback recovering from knee surgery. He has only seen action in 35 games since the start of 2022. Even more so than Rosario, though, the healthy version of Mondesi provides speed and baserunning skills. He has 133 steals in 358 career games at the major league level, very similar to Dee Strange-Gordon's ratio during his Marlins years (2015-2017). Mondesi provides some power potential as well. If you go back to 2018, he slashed .276/.306/.498/.804 with 14 home runs, 37 RBIs and an 113 wRC+. He also slugged a solid .424 in 2019 when playing a career-high 102 games. Unfortunately, Mondesi just hasn't been able to put it all together. On top of the injuries, he's always had a low OBP. That being said, Mondesi's shortstop defense still looks decent. Like Rosario, he is only 28 years old. If he's willing to come to Marlins camp without a guaranteed job, they have nothing to lose. LHP Hyun Jin Ryu Miami still needs to find a way to make up for the innings they'll be missing from Sandy Alcantara in 2024. Ryu's career ERA (3.27) is even lower than Alcantara's (3.32), though durability is a concern, which is what will make him affordable for the Marlins. In 2023, Ryu posted a 3.46 ERA, 4.91 FIP, 6.6 K/9 and a 2.4 BB/9 in 57 ⅓ innings pitched. He threw only 27 innings the year before. Ryu has an extensive pitch arsenal. The ability to throw his secondary pitches for strikes allows him to find success despite a fastball that sits around 88 miles per hour. As he heads into his age-37 season, it's unrealistic to think Ryu can go back to being a Cy Young award finalist like he was in 2019 and 2020. If he can just produce like a league-average starter while being healthy for more than half of the regular season, that's exactly what the Marlins need. RHP Michael Lorenzen The Marlins were known to have interest in Lorenzen at the 2023 trade deadline. He had been a quality starter for the Detroit Tigers up to that point in the season, with a 3.58 ERA, 3.86 FIP, 7.1 K/9 and a 2.3 BB/9. It's probably for the best that they missed out on him because Lorenzen wasn't the same once arriving to the Philadelphia Phillies where he posted a 5.51 ERA, 5.81 FIP, 5.3 K/9 and 3.8 BB/9. The Phillies only used him for two relief appearances during the postseason. Lorenzen throws a mid-90s fastball and his changeup in his best pitch for generating whiffs. Coming off an All-Star selection, Lorenzen could be the most expensive of these "low-cost" free agents. OF Robbie Grossman Grossman would be someone who you can place in a platoon situation along with Bryan De La Cruz and Jesús Sánchez. In 2023, the switch-hitter slashed .309/.416/.536/.952 with five home runs and 23 RBIs when facing left-handed pitching. https://mlb-cuts-diamond.mlb.com/FORGE/2023/2023-08/05/9653c9b5-94722f9f-19103ad5-csvm-diamondx64-asset_1280x720_59_16000K.mp4Grossman has always been able to draw walks at a high rate, including a 13.6 BB% last season. The hope for Grossman would be to replicate his 2021 season where he was a 2.3 fWAR player. Even if the 34-year-old doesn't fully bounce back to that level, he's shown he can contribute to a championship team. The Marlins have lost several respected veterans to free agency this winter, so there's value to adding someone like Grossman in their clubhouse who's been to the postseason five times during his career and played in the World Series. Maybe a two-year deal with an AAV of about $5M-$6M would be doable for the Marlins, who have yet to spend a dollar. Photo: Jerome Miron-USA TODAY Sports

Per Hector Gomez, the Miami Marlins are one of three Major League teams interested in designated hitter Franmil Reyes, who has built up his stock to earn a shot at the big league level with the Leones Del Escogido in the Dominican Winter League which ended on Wednesday. https://twitter.com/hgomez27/status/1740381674696069493This season, Reyes led the Dominican Winter League in home runs and RBI while slashing .296/.353/.546/.899 with nine homers and 34 RBI. This is Reyes' longest winter ball season by far, providing his largest sample size. Reyes' last stint at the Major League level was not successful. With the Kansas City Royals in 2023, he slashed .186/.231/.288/.519 with two home runs, seven RBI and a wRC+ of 34 in only 19 games. What has been detrimental to Reyes the past few years has been his ultra-aggressive approach. Before being DFA'd by the Royals, Reyes had three straight seasons of strikeout percentages of over 30%, including a 32.0% K in his largest sample size, which was in 115 games with the Cleveland Guardians in 2021. Defensively, Reyes is limited to the corner outfield spots and has yet to see action at first base in his career thus far. This winter, Reyes has spent time at DH for the most part along with just four games in right field. With his large build, it would benefit Reyes to make the move to first base where it would give him a lot more playing time on the field and gives any potential suitor the option to use him in different spots and specifically for the Marlins, who have a revolving door at DH. Reyes will most likely receive a minor league deal with an invite to spring training, similar to what that the Marlins gave Yuli Gurriel and Jose Iglesias last spring, which included opt outs at the end of camp. There is some hope that Reyes can translate his Winter League success back into the big leagues as he was a dominant power threat not too long ago (hit 37 home runs in 2019 with the Guardians.)

After two solid seasons to revive his career with the Washington Nationals, former 2016 World Series champion Carl Edwards Jr. finds himself as a free agent who can help out a lot of bullpens. Last season, Edwards posted a 3.69 ERA, 3.86 FIP, 6.82 K/9 and a 4.83 BB/9 through 31 ⅔ innings pitched. Despite the lack of innings, Edwards had a fWAR of 0.4, the highest it has been since 2018. In 2022, Edwards posted a 2.76 ERA, 4.24 FIP, 8.13 K/9 and a 3.63 BB/9 in a bigger sample of 62 innings pitched. Although the righty's main pitch is the fastball, his changeup and curveball have been nice pitches as well. Both secondary pitches produced a whiff% of over 30% this past season. The only home run Edwards allowed came off a fastball. https://sporty-clips.mlb.com/64e45b5f-9da4-4eba-9e91-8d41282b116d.mp4The 32-year-old's fastball still sits at 93.6 mph. It plays even faster than that because of the great extension he gets off the mound (80th percentile among MLB pitchers). Edwards made his final major league appearance with the Nats on June 19. He was placed on the injured list with right shoulder inflammation and was later diagnosed with a stress fracture. It does not seem as though the injury will hold him back entering 2024. https://www.instagram.com/p/C06owDSO34Q/?hl=en&img_index=1Having spent most of his career in the National League, Edwards is familiar with LoanDepot Park and had success there in nine relief outings as a Marlins opponent (1.80 ERA, 10.0 IP, 5 H, 2 ER, 4 BB, 10 K). The risk with Edwards is he has struggled with a high walk rate for the majority of his career. His 12.0 BB% in 2023 was close to his career average of 12.5 BB%. Also, he's coming off a season where left-handed batters had his number (.350/.443/.483/.926 slash line). In 2023, Edwards earned $2.25M. Expect him to be seeking something similar next season. That makes him a low-cost option who could be on Miami's radar in the search for impactful right-handed relief pitching.
