Over their last 100 games, the Marlins have been among MLB's elite teams The Marlins' hot start to 2026 is a continuation of how they played for most of last season.

Fun with arbitrary endpoints: the Marlins have been winning a bunch of baseball games over a pretty big sample

Marlins looking to tame wild arms of Rule 5 picks Jake Smith, Livan Reinoso The newest Marlins prospects have had severe strike-throwing issues. Is that fixable through player development?

After video review, the Marlins Rule 5 draft guys look a bit more promising than their scary walk rates would suggest

2020 MLB season stats will forever be hilarious

Shohei Ohtani: 80 wRC+
Vladimir Guerrero: 110 wRC+
Miguel Rojas: 140 wRC+
Jose Iglesias: 160 wRC+

3 Marlins named NL Gold Glove finalists, even with Otto Lopez snubbed No Marlin came close to winning a Gold Glove in 2024, but this year, they have guys in the mix for the second base, left field and utility awards.

Within here, I remind you that “finalists” for annual MLB awards are not actually finalists.

The winners are already decided. They get grouped with 2 guys who finished closest to them just to generate more widespread interest (and the gimmick works!).

I somehow fell into this rabbit hole

What would it cost for Marlins to extend sensational rookie Jakob Marsee? As Jakob Marsee wraps up one of the best months that a Marlins rookie has ever had, let's contemplate a contract that would keep him in Miami for the next six to eight years.

I would recommend a six-year, $49 million extension between Jakob Marsee and the Marlins that includes club options for the 2032 and 2033 seasons

Offishial News: Revisiting the Jake Burger trade as Maximo Acosta debuts Today's news roundup includes more mind-boggling Jakob Marsee stats and updates on all of the players involved in the Maximo Acosta trade.

Jakob Marsee is the MLB leader in wins above replacement since debuting on August 1 with 1.6 fWAR.

For some context, Jesús Sánchez (solid player!) has never reached 1.6 fWAR in any single SEASON of his career.

Offishial News: Robby Snelling looks fully major league-ready Today's news roundup includes highlights from Robby Snelling's latest double-digit strikeout game and an observation about what wasn't working for Eury Pérez against the Braves.

The last box for Robby Snelling to check in his development is starting on 4 days’ rest.

If his next outing comes on Tuesday (and goes well), then we're officially on call-up watch.

Why Marlins top catching prospect Joe Mack isn't being called up yet Nick Fortes' departure clears the way for Mack to take over as the Marlins' primary catcher...eventually. Mack's promotion to the majors is not imminent.

We are not on Joe Mack Watch until August 15

Kyle Stowers...again Marlins All-Star Kyle Stowers picked up exactly where he left off before the break and walked it off for the third time this season.

2023 Luis Arraez had 3.4 fWAR in 147 games. Valuable, unforgettable season!

2025 Kyle Stowers already has 3.3 fWAR in 92 games. Running out of adjectives to describe how special he's been.

The “50” up top for Agustín Ramírez’s uniform number and the license plate is his debut date.

Absolutely crushed the subtle details!

Offishial News: Why Marlins' next series has huge Rookie of the Year ramifications Today's news roundup includes an Edward Cabrera breakdown and trade proposal.

We’ve got a messy NL Rookie of the Year race this year.

Agustín Ramírez is barely above replacement level, yet has a clear path to win. Chad Patrick has a sneaky convincing combo of quality and quantity.

They’ll face each other tomorrow.

Great job, AI slop

Offishial News: Long overdue, but Marlins free Graham Pauley to continue development Today's news roundup also includes an international free agent signing and a Marlins memorabilia sale.

The Marlins mishandled Graham Pauley for more than a month, having him warm the bench in the majors instead of play regularly in Triple-A.

Finally corrected that.

And Jared Serna trying to snap a 38-game homerless streak

Offishial News: Valente Bellozo continues to be a total anomaly Today's news roundup also includes the backstory of how a pitcher battled cancer during his brief tenure in the Marlins organization.

I love analyzing Valente Bellozo. He breaks all the rules.

Thanks to the guys for helping out with the intro 🫡

Hour-long streams 2x per week in advance of every Marlins series opener: www.youtube.com/@FishOnFirst...

Seems very obvious to me despite being unconventional, so I'm fully anticipating that they do something different next week to make me look silly

Why it's so easy for teams to steal bases against the Marlins Through the first month-plus of the 2025 season, Miami's opponents have been testing their batteries twice per game and succeeding on nearly 90% of stolen base attempts.

Baseball Savant is such a godsend. Really made this Marlins running game breakdown pop.

Here if you need me!

Offishial News: Agustín Ramírez has hit the ground running (and hitting) Today's news roundup also includes injury updates on Marlins prospects PJ Morlando and Starlyn Caba.

Nothing against Liam Hicks, but Agustín Ramírez has matched his extra-base hit total for the season in a single series.

Biggest smile I’ve seen on Max Meyer’s face during his 5 years in the Marlins organization

Offishial News: What's the Marlins' plan for new call-up Agustín Ramírez? Today's news roundup also includes notes about the other recently promoted Marlins prospects.

Liam Hicks quietly caught each of the last 6(!) days for the Marlins.

I feel quite confident in predicting that Agustín Ramírez is starting behind the plate tonight in his major league debut.

#950: Ace Cristopher Sanchez & Marlins Preview Hittin' Season: A Philadelphia Phillies podcast · Episode

I’m on vacation. Leave me alone.

But also listen to Hittin’ Season with @johnstolnis.bsky.social and my interviews with @realely.bsky.social about the 2025 Marlins’ pretty okay start and author Sam Zygner about the minor league Marlins of old: open.spotify.com/episode/46ZV...

Offishial News: What makes the 2025 Marlins way more fun than anticipated Today's news roundup also includes the emergence of a fascinating pitching prospect.

A season of constant losing revolving around Sandy Alcantara trade rumors would have sucked. Thankfully, the 2025 Marlins are already proving to be more nuanced than that.

Marlins prospects running wild, pacing minor leagues in stolen bases From Low-A to Triple-A, Marlins MiLB affiliates are stealing with incredible frequency and efficiency early in 2025.

There is some truly crazy shit going on with base-stealing in the Marlins farm system right now.
