    In 2008, the Marlins finished 84-77, which was the 8th best record in the 16 team National League (Astros were still in the N.L.). Unfortunately, they would not have made the playoffs under the current format. The N.L. had 9 teams with winning records that year. In 2009, the Marlins finished 87-75, which was the 6th best record in the N.L. Under the current format they would have made the playoffs. The Marlins had just 2 quality starters in 2009, Josh Johnson & Ricky Nolasco. They had 2 really good pinch hitters that year, Wes Helms & Ross Gload, that won them multiple games. 2008-2009 were the Hanley, Uggla, Cantù, Cody Ross, Josh Johnson, Nolasco years.

    With no position player arbitration eligible in 2026, no need to offer any contract extension. As was mentioned, let’s see who can continue to produce & let’s see who has the sophomore slump or flames out. As far as pitching goes, if the price is right, IMO the Marlins should look at moving Cabrera. Was all in favor of holding onto him at the deadline. With his September elbow sprain and the fact that he’s never had T.J. surgery, just have a feeling that it’s just a matter of time. Both Snelling & Thomas White could be ready to make their MLB debut sooner, rather than later. IMO, if the Marlins sign a first baseman or a reliever (really need a left hander), it won’t be until mid February at the earliest, when bargain shopping season starts. In 2024, the Marlins signed Tim Anderson on February 24th. In 2025, the Marlins signed Cal Quantrill on February 12th.

    If the Marlins do add a high leverage reliever (IMO, it should be a left hander) or a first baseman, it likely won’t happen until bargain shopping season, which is mid February/early March.

    Have went back and forth as to whether the Marlins should sign a RH or LH hitting 1st baseman. Current RH hitters include Agustin, Heriberto, Myers, Norby, Otto, & Sanoja. Current LH hitters include Conine, Hicks, Marsee, Pauley, & Stowers. Counting Xavier in the LH column due to hitting .306 LH & .236 RH, last year. I’m voting RH hitting 1st baseman based only on having too many LH hitters can be a hinderance. Thinking Rhys Hoskins on a one year deal. Would be against Agustin playing 1st.

    Can’t see any realistic reason why the Marlins would sign Yaz. Plenty of left handed bats in the outfield already.

    When mentioning White’s over-the-top arm angle, my mind went to the kid, Yesavage, who was lights out for Toronto in the playoffs. Pitching from this angle is a look hitters aren’t used to seeing. Kinda like hitters aren’t used to the submarine arm angle, with the pitch being released ankle high. IMO, there’s value in having a unique look coming out of the bullpen. Thinking White gets added to the 40 man.
  7. Robert Hanson
    Thinking a left hander should be the priority for bullpen help. As far as a closer goes, IMO it could be more of the same. The Henriquez/Faucher/Bender committee. As far as a right handed reliever, could see Josh White added to the 26 man roster.
  8. Robert Hanson
    No way the Marlins sign Rosario or McCann. Utility player & backup catcher aren’t positions of need for the Marlins. Yarbrough would be the most likely signing of those listed. IMO a first baseman & a quality left handed reliever are the biggest needs. The fact that Nardi & Josh Simpson are on the 40 man roster, as of now, is a little disturbing. Are the Marlins thinking they role with one of these guys on Opening Day, to go along with Cade Gibson, for L.H. reliever?? Let’s hope not.
  9. Robert Hanson
    Crazy that the Marlins have zero position players on their 40 man roster who are arbitration eligible in 2026. This is a young team, even by their standards. Only one on this list that’s remotely possible to be non tendered is Nardi, and that’s only if his back injury is career threatening/ending. Only say this due to his injury being somewhat of a mystery.

    No one knows, for sure, how Mack will handle MLB pitching until he’s an MLB player. Not going to assume one way or the other. Obviously, he’s an upgrade behind the plate. He doesn’t even have to out hit Agustin, but he’ll have to show he can hit at some level.
  11. Robert Hanson
    If Mack makes the Opening Day roster in 2026, he won’t be sitting on the bench. He will be the primary catcher, which leaves Agustin as the primary DH., where he’s better, offensively. The Marlins are committed to him, for now. Also, will Hicks be on the Opening Day roster?? We’ll see.

    When November rolls around, the Marlins will be adding some 60 day I.L. players and some Rule 5 eligible players to the 40 man roster. Unfortunately they’ll be saying goodbye to some players as a result. Here’s my additions & subtractions. Additions from the 60 day I.L: Braxton Garrett, Max Meyer, Anthony Bender. Rule 5 additions: Joe Mack & Josh White. Marlins will move on from Tyler Zuber, Jesus Tinoco, and yes, Andrew Nardi. Marlins will leave Jacob Berry and all the rule 5 eligible relievers, except Josh White. exposed. Unfortunately, the Marlins will move on from Valente Bellozo, Dax Fulton (surprise!!), Troy Johnston, Brian Navarreto, Michael Peterson, George Soriano, & Jack Winkler. After adding 5 players to the 40 man and releasing 7 players, this will leave the 40 man at 38 players, which allows the Marlins to possibly sign Ryan O’Hearn & a quality left handed reliever, which they really need. Let us know your potential roster moves.

    Alonso is obviously out of the Marlins price range. Goldschmidt looks just about cooked. Bell is/would be a good veteran in the clubhouse, but not thrilled with his glove. Marlins already have a DH in Agustin. This leaves O’Hearn & Naylor. wRC+ are virtually identical. Love that Naylor steals bases. Love O’Hearn’s glove even more. Would go with O’Hearn. This would leave the Marlins good defensively in the infield, depending whether Pauley or Norby starts at 3rd. All outfielders good defensively, except for possibly Heriberto and he isn’t bad. If Mack can hit MLB pitching, this gives the Marlins a good team, defensively. When’s the last time we could say that??
