This podcast is brought to you by Jet Ski Rentals of South Florida—offering Miami’s best jet ski and boat adventures. With six jet ski locations and over 120 boats, there’s something for every style and every budget. They’re reservation-based only. To inquire, call 305-990-2192, or check them out online at SFJetskiRentals.com. Make sure to use promo code FISHONFIRST to receive 10% off your next booking. The Miami Marlins roster is rapidly being infused with a new wave of young talent. AJ Ramos, Kevin Barral and Isaac Azout share their first impressions of Joe Mack, Josh Ekness and William Kemper, plus look ahead to Robby Snelling potentially taking over Chris Paddack's old starting rotation spot. Then, Kevin and Ely Sussman conduct an exclusive interview with Connor Norby. Newly converted to first base, Norby discusses his comfort level at the position, the evolution of his plate approach, the camaraderie inside the Marlins clubhouse and much more. 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. Entering Wednesday, Norby is slashing .238/.341/.390 through 33 games with a career-high 108 wRC+. Norby had one of the highest chase rates on the team in previous seasons, but he currently ranks in the 77th percentile across MLB in that category, per Baseball Savant. A full-time third baseman in 2025, Norby has only made starts at first base and designated hitter this season. He ranks slightly above average in outs above average at 1B and slightly below average in defensive runs saved. The Marlins are in the midst of a three-game series against the Baltimore Orioles, who drafted and developed Norby, only to ship him away at the 2024 trade deadline. View full article

Every month, Fish Unfiltered takes Miami Marlins fans "Inside the Dugout," bringing you an extended, exclusive interview with Marlins manager Clayton McCullough. During our April sitdown, McCullough speaks with Isaac Azout, AJ Ramos and Kevin Barral about his first ejection of 2026, getting Kyle Stowers back from the injured list, how he uses closer Pete Fairbanks and assesses top starters Sandy Alcantara and Eury Pérez thus far, his philosophy on baserunning, relationship with Agustín Ramírez and much more. 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. Entering play on Wednesday, the Marlins have an 11-13 record (tied for second in the National League East) with a minus-1 run differential. The only series they've won have been at home against the rebuilding Colorado Rockies and Chicago White Sox. The Marlins offense has been mainly carried by Xavier Edwards, Otto Lopez and Liam Hicks. Of some concern, Miami leads Major League Baseball in stolen bases allowed (35) and outs made on the bases (15). Expect us to have another sitdown with McCullough shortly before Memorial Day.

It's time for the first of many Miami Marlins player interviews that we will be bringing you on Fish Unfiltered this season. AJ Ramos, Isaac Azout and Kevin Barral analyze a busy week for the Marlins against the New York Yankees and Cincinnati Reds (3-4 combined record in those series). Then, catcher Liam Hicks sits down with Isaac and Kevin to explain his excellent offensive performance early in 2026, the team's proficiency with the Automated Ball-Strike challenge system, receiving pitch calls from the dugout and much more. 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. Entering Friday, Hicks is slashing .314/.390/.600 with a 173 wRC+ and just as many walks as strikeouts. He has driven in 13 runs already, tying a career-high for most over any 12-game span. The Canadian's versatility makes him useful on a daily basis, as he has made five appearances (two starts) at first base when he isn't behind the plate. Still pre-arbitration-eligible, the former Rule 5 draft pick is under Marlins club control through the 2030 season. View full article

Our final pre-Opening Day episode of Fish Unfiltered is an absolute banger. AJ Ramos, Isaac Azout and Kevin Barral break down the Miami Marlins' Opening Day roster. Then, Marlins manager Clayton McCullough joins for an exclusive interview, covering his spring training takeaways, lineup decisions, leadership style and more. 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. Among the nuggets that McCullough shared with us, Javier Sanoja will be Miami's starting third baseman on Friday against the Colorado Rockies. He and Graham Pauley will platoon at the hot corner for the near future, with Connor Norby mainly playing first base on days that he starts while also contributing at the corner outfield spots.

To inquire, call 305-990-2192, or check them out online at SFJetskiRentals.com. Make sure to use promo code FISHONFIRST to receive 10% off your next booking. We are ridiculously excited to welcome you to this new era of the Fish On First podcast! In our debut with the Foul Territory Network, Kevin Barral, Isaac Azout and Ely Sussman are joined by AJ Ramos. The former Marlins closer and current TV/radio broadcaster is also Fish Unfiltered's new co-host. The guys revisit the club's biggest offseason moves, project the 2026 starting rotation, and get AJ's take on pitching in high-leverage situations and adapting to various Major League Baseball rule changes. 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. A 21st-round draft pick of the Marlins in 2009, Ramos pitched parts of six MLB seasons for the Fish at the major league level (2012-2017). He ranks third in franchise history with 325 pitching appearances and tied for fourth with 92 saves. He was selected to the 2016 National League All-Star team, posting a 2.90 FIP (2.81 ERA) with 40 saves that year. The right-hander later pitched for the New York Mets, Colorado Rockies and Los Angeles Angels. Ramos announced his retirement in April 2022 and has since made the pivot to broadcasting. In addition to weekly appearances on the FOF podcast, you can find him on MLB Network Radio, Marlins.TV and the Marlins Radio Network. Follow AJ (@theajramos), Kevin (@kevin_barral), Isaac (@IsaacAzout), Ely (@RealEly) and Fish On First (@FishOnFirst) on Twitter. Join the Marlins Discord server!
