1 MLB Team Hasn’t Spent A Single Penny So Far This Offseason

The Miami Marlins missed the postseason after finishing with a record of 62-100 and coming in last place in the National League East.
Since winning the World Series in 2003, the Marlins have only made the postseason twice and have had three different seasons with at least 100 losses.
The Marlins have struggled immensely in recent years, and they are not helping themselves out any this offseason.
So far this offseason, the only acquisitions include infielder Eric Wagaman and first baseman Matt Mervis while the team lost two notable names in Jesus Luzardo and Jake Burger.
According to Danny Vietti on ‘X,’ the Marlins are the only team in the MLB that has not spent a single penny this offseason.
The free agent class in Major League Baseball this offseason is loaded with talent and opportunities for the Marlins to add some key players to their roster.
Although many options exist, the Marlins have not spent a single penny thus far and have lost a couple of their better players in the process.
With only two playoff appearances since 2003, the Marlins need to make some moves if they want to get the organization back to a competitive level.
It is unclear why the Marlins haven’t spent any money this offseason, and while there is still time for them to do so, there doesn’t appear to be anything promising in the works.
The Marlins have never won a division title since their inaugural season in 1993, and unless something drastically changes, they likely won’t change that in 2025.

Everyone’s Saying The Same Thing About Marlins After Sunday’s Trade

The Miami Marlins missed the postseason in 2024 after finishing in last place in the National League East with a record of 62-100.
Since winning the World Series in 2003, the Marlins have only made the postseason two times which included being swept in the National League Division Series and being swept in the wild-card round.
The Marlins have never won a division title since their inaugural season in 1993, and it does not appear like 2025 will change that.
Sunday included a trade involving the Marlins and the Philadelphia Phillies where the Marlins sent starting pitcher Jesus Luzardo to the Phillies for prospects in return.
Fans appear to have similar opinions on social media regarding the Marlins trade on Sunday.
Fans are not thrilled with the Marlins organization after trading one of their best pitchers away for prospects.
One fan mentions that the Marlins seem to be in rebuild after rebuild and can’t seem to obtain a competitive roster.
Luzardo battled injuries in 2024 and only started 12 games for the club where he had a record of 3-6 with a 5.00 ERA and 58 strikeouts in 66.2 innings pitched.
While Luzardo didn’t impress in 2024, his 2023 season when he was fully healthy was a different story.
In 2023, Luzardo started 32 games and held a record of 10-10 with a 3.58 ERA and 208 strikeouts in 178.2 innings pitched.
Although the Marlins received some potentially good future players in return for Luzardo, fans are growing impatient with the team who is still yet to win a division title in franchise history.
The Marlins will try to turn things around in 2025 and it will be interesting to see if any more moves are made by the club this offseason.

New Marlins Manager Reveals What He Learned With Dodgers

The Miami Marlins missed the postseason in 2024 with a record of 62-100 after making the playoffs in 2023 with a record of 84-78.
In 21 seasons since winning the World Series in 2003, the Marlins have made the postseason twice, with their furthest run ending in the National League Division Series.
The Marlins will have a new manager in 2025 after they announced the hiring of Los Angeles Dodgers first base coach Clayton McCullough.
McCullough revealed what he learned from being in the Dodgers organization and what he wants to bring with him to the Marlins.
McCullough had the opportunity to coach in an organization that knows how to win, as the Dodgers have eight World Series titles after winning it in 2024.
The Marlins hope that McCullough can turn things around after they suffered their first 100-loss season since 2013.
One thing that stands out about his comments is that the Dodgers continue to develop players even when they reach the major leagues.
Most MLB players want to continue to get better even after they make it to the highest level, and McCullough plans to bring that energy with him to the Marlins in 2025.
The Marlins played their first year as an organization in 1993, and even though they have two World Series titles, they have never won the NL East, and McCullough will look to change that.

Since winning the World Series in 2003, the Marlins have only made the postseason twice in the last 21 seasons.

Marlins Get A Haul Of Top Padres Prospects In Tanner Scott Trade
Source: https://www.thecoldwire.com/marlins-get-a-haul-of-top-padres-prospects-in-tanner-scott-trade/
(Photo by Mark Brown/Getty Images)
The 2024 MLB trade deadline is full of buyers and has precious few sellers.
It is, as specialists call it, a “sellers’ market”.
The Miami Marlins have taken full advantage of the situation and have turned a few rentals and solid players into multiple top prospects.
Their most recent deal saw them ship top left-hander reliever Tanner Scott to the San Diego Padres in exchange for a haul of prospects.
Right-hander Bryan Hoeing will be going to San Diego alongside Scott.
MLB insider Jeff Passan has all the details.
“Full trade, per ESPN sources San Diego Padres get: LHP Tanner Scott and RHP Bryan Hoeing. Miami Marlins get: LHP Robby Snelling, RHP Adam Mazur, IF Graham Pauley, IF Jay Beshears. Padres going for it. Marlins are loading up on prospects. A bonanza of a trade deadline deal,” he tweeted.
In case you were wondering about the quality of the prospects, none is a can’t-miss guy but all are extremely promising.
In fact, three of the four were among the Padres’ top five prospects: Snelling (second), Mazur (fourth) and Pauley (fifth). Beshears was ranked 24th in their system.
It’s quite a return for a very solid reliever who has only a couple of months of team control.
Scott is very good, though, with a 1.18 ERA and 53 strikeouts in 45.2 innings this season.
He also has 18 saves and will slot right into late-inning duties in San Diego.
The contending Padres are going for it, while the last-place Marlins are building their team of tomorrow, and it looks fantastic.
Besides the four excellent prospects they got from the Padres, they also flipped Trevor Rogers to the Baltimore Orioles for two potential future starters: outfielder Kyle Stowers and infielder Connor Norby.
As far as rebuilds go, Marlins general manager Peter Bendix is doing a wonderful job.

Marlins Make Surprising Roster Cut Ahead Of All-Star Break
Source: https://www.thecoldwire.com/marlins-make-surprising-roster-cut-ahead-of-all-star-break/
(Photo by Rich Storry/Getty Images)
The Miami Marlins are having a brutal season and are undoubtedly going to be sellers before the upcoming trade deadline, as the team is 30-54 and has the fourth-worst record in all of baseball.
With still plenty of time to go before the deadline, the Marlins have made a surprising roster cut that represents a severe fall from grace for one former All-Star.
It was announced today that the Marlins have designated veteran middle infielder Tim Anderson for assignment and will likely be releasing him.
Anderson has been one of the worst players in baseball this season to the tune of a .463 OPS, which is unfathomably unproductive.
He will end his stint with the Marlins this year with a .214 average and no home runs with just nine RBIs in 234 at-bats.
Anderson signed a 1-year, $5 million deal with the Marlins prior to this season after a disastrous 2023 with the Chicago White Sox when he hit just one home run with 25 RBIs in 123 games.
Anderson made two All-Star teams and won a batting title with the White Sox and hit well over .300 from 2019 through 2022, but his fall-off has been drastic as he has gone from one of the league’s best young shortstops to a guy who is on the verge of being out of the league altogether in just two years.
This is the sixth year in a row his batting average has declined, and with how he has performed, it’s uncertain if another team will give him a legitimate shot to prove he can still hit anytime soon.

Marlins Take On Serious Cost After Cutting Veteran Player
Source: https://www.thecoldwire.com/marlins-take-on-serious-cost-after-cutting-veteran-player/
(Photo by Mark Brown/Getty Images)
The Miami Marlins are off to an awful start and have scored the 29th-most runs in the league en route to a 21-39 record, and after 60 games it is time for the team to start shaking things up.
The team made a decision today to part with one struggling injured veteran outfielder to continue giving all the playing time to Jazz Chisholm Jr., Bryan De La Cruz, and Jesus Sanchez.
Team insider Craig Mish shared on Twitter that the Marlins are DFA’ing Avisail Garcia and will eat his remaining salary for 2024 including another $12 million in 2025 as well as his $5 million buyout in 2026.
Garcia is in the third year of a 4-year, $53 million deal that he signed after his strong 2021 with the Milwaukee Brewers, and the Marlins are now still on the hook for about another $25 million owed to him.
This is a lot of money to eat for a team that hates spending money, but there was no justification to continue trotting Garcia out there when the three current outfielders are the most promising players in the lineup.
Garcia has been a disappointment for the entirety of his Marlins tenure after posting a .582 and .566 OPS over his first two years with the club, and there was certainly not going to be a trade market for him with that kind of money remaining on his deal and being three years removed from his last season with an OPS over .600.
Garcia had just a .635 OPS over 50 at-bats so far this season before going down with a hamstring injury at the end of April.

Marlins Get Terrible Injury News Amid Nightmare Start
Source: https://www.thecoldwire.com/marlins-get-terrible-injury-news-amid-nightmare-start/
(Photo by Rich Storry/Getty Images)
The 2024 Miami Marlins appear destined to suffer.
It’s still too early, but they just can’t catch a break.
They are, as of Thursday, 0-7 and dead last in the NL East, even behind the Washington Nationals.
They are currently without many top pitchers, such as Sandy Alcantara, Edward Cabrera, and Eury Perez; and their offense is slashing a putrid .197/.274/.285 with a .559 OPS.
To make matters worse, they just received some awful injury news on Perez, arguably the most talented pitcher in the organization.
“Right-hander Eury Perez, one of the best pitching prospects in recent years, will undergo Tommy John surgery and miss the 2024 season, per the Marlins. In a year of awful pitching injuries, this is among the worst: a 20-year-old handled with immense care still gets hurt,” MLB insider Jeff Passan tweeted.
The Marlins treated him with kid gloves over the years, knowing he was extremely valuable for the future of the franchise.
Unfortunately, they couldn’t avoid the worst.
During spring training, Perez was diagnosed with right elbow inflammation.
He started to slowly work his way back, playing catch and preparing for an eventual return.
Those plans are now out the window, and the Marlins will be without their top pitcher until late 2025 at the very least, and probably 2026.
Perez was incredibly impressive last year, posting a 3.15 ERA in 91.1 innings, with 108 strikeouts.
He was actually one of the reasons behind Miami’s postseason berth.
Now, however, a long process begins for him, not only physically but also mentally.
It’s truly a shame, as Perez was electrifying to watch.

The Marlins Have Matched An Unfortunate MLB Mark

(Photo by Megan Briggs/Getty Images)
The Miami Marlins, against all odds, made the postseason last year ahead of more talented teams such as the San Diego Padres, the New York Mets, the Chicago Cubs, and the Cincinnati Reds.
It’s safe to say most players performed to the top of their abilities.
This year?
Well, things are not looking as good.
After dropping Wednesday’s game against the Los Angeles Angels, 10-2, they suffered their seventh straight defeat.
The worst part of all is that they still don’t know what it’s like to win an official game in 2024.
Their awful start is putting them in dangerous territory.
“Marlins are the first team to start 0-7 since the 2016 Twins began 0-9,” Talkin’ Baseball tweeted.
In case you were wondering, those 2016 Twins finished with a lousy 59-103 record, dead last in the AL Central.
The Marlins lost many key players in the offseason and could have a hard time competing this year in a stronger National League.
However, they are certainly not as bad as their record shows.
Some of the problems they carried over from last season are still interfering with their growth as a team.
For starters, there is a baffling lack of power, evidenced by their four homers in seven games.
It’s hard to win that way.
Additionally, they have suffered a myriad of injuries on the pitching side.
Eury Perez, Edward Cabrera, Braxton Garrett, Sandy Alcantara and other top arms are currently out.
When Miami is healthier, they should be more competitive.
Still, losing seven in a row is embarrassing and demoralizing for any franchise.

Miami Marlins Announce ‘All-You-Can-Eat Seats’

(Photo by Kelly Gavin/Getty Images)
To say that Miami Marlins fans have been through everything could be a bit of an understatement.
It’s crazy to think that one of the ultimate sports and entertainment cities in the U.S. has seen an empty ballpark more often than not.
That’s why the front office has gone the extra mile to make sure that doesn’t happen this season.
According to a report by Front Office Sports, the Marlins are now selling ‘all-you-can-eat seats’ starting at just $52.
Apparently, fans in attendance can get up to four items per trip through the seventh inning, and the list of options includes water, cookies, peanuts, popcorn, hot dogs, chili dogs, chili nachos, cheeseburgers, nachos with cheese, and non-alcoholic beverages.
Needless to say, this is a great way to address their attendance issues.
Miami sports has seen some of the best teams in history, from LeBron James and the Miami Heat to the undefeated Miami Dolphins, all the way to those legendary Miami Hurricanes.
The Marlins, on the other hand, have struggled to get back to relevance since winning the World Series in 2003.
They’ve had several issues in terms of roster-building and the long-term outlook of their project, and that has driven fans away from the stadium over the past five years or so.
Even so, baseball continues to be as popular as it’s always been, and the Marlins want to make sure that the experience is enjoyable and appealing again for those who opt to watch the game from the ballpark instead of at home.
