Players with Cuban roots who succeed in Miami are always appreciated, but a few of these names snuck under the radar.
To help fill the void created by the delayed 2020 regular season, I dusted off the Fish Stripes Sporcle account! Each Saturday, I’ll share an original Marlins quiz with all of you.
Despite the political barriers that slow the flow of baseball talent to and from Cuba, the island has produced an extraordinary catalog of Major League Baseball...

Over the years, the Florida/Miami Marlins have had dozens of different players make the All-Star Game. Since expansion however, only one Marlin has ever been named the MVP of the Mid-Summer Classic.
That came on this day 25 years ago.
Florida Marlins outfielder Jeff Conine played the role of hero for the National League in a 3-2 victory over the American League. Conine’s solo home run in the top of the eighth broke a 2-2 tie and served as the decisive...
On July 11, 2002, the Fish got both RHP Carl Pavano and OF Juan Encarnación, two moves that helped the team win the World Series a year later.
July 11, 2002, was one of the most important days of Larry Beinfest’s tenure leading the Marlins front office. A few months prior, Beinfest acquired little-known LHP Dontrelle Willis who developed into a face of the franchise, but combining the two trades that the Fish finalized on this date did just as much to pave the way to the 2003 World Series...

The new bats stood out once again during a scrimmage at Marlins Park on Thursday.
MIAMI—After one week of bullpen sessions and batting practices, the Miami Marlins took to the field for their first intrasquad scrimmage of Summer Camp. Caleb Smith and Sandy Alcantara were the starting pitchers, who also happen to be the club’s two most viable Opening Day starter candidates.
But this was no pitcher’s duel. Instead, it was a showcase of sluggers that...

Based on his track record and what he achieved last season, the Dominican righty deserves the chance to begin the season for the Marlins.
It’s been known since March that Sandy Alcántara wants to start on Opening Day. And he should. Even though José Ureña and Caleb Smith might also be in the running to begin the season on July 24 against the Phillies at Philadelphia, Alcántara is the most appropriate choice to receive the ball on Day 1.
On the 2019...

Another Fish has an unspecified injury, and Monte Harrison sounds like a lock for the roster.
One day closer to baseball and the Marlins are in full Spring Training mode, but at Marlins Park. Here’s a little BA BP to remind you what we’re looking forward to.

The 2020 Major League Baseball season is not the first in the league’s illustrious history to be shortened. By the way things go in MLB, it is certainly not to be the last either. Although the coronavirus has put baseball in uncharted territory, the same could be said about some of the other shortened campaigns. The 2020 MLB season will begin on July 23 with the famed New York Yankees playing the World Champion Washington Nationals. Fans...

Marlins players are used to a lousy gameday atmosphere, but that doesn’t mean they want it that way.
I have read countless variations of the same joke. Ever since COVID-19 shut down spring training, when leading health officials made it crystal clear that large public gatherings accelerate the spread of the virus, we have been bracing for the jarring sight of fanless Major League Baseball games. In other words, business as usual for the Miami...

Less than one month after being drafted by the Fish, Max Meyer is ready to bring the “bulldog mentality” to the mound.
Things started off normally enough for Max Meyer when the college baseball season opened in February. The junior out of Minnesota was trying to add another season’s worth of scouting footage to his portfolio in preparation for the 2020 MLB Draft. Just as he had done his entire collegiate career, Meyer dominated, cruising with a 1.95...

The Mets might’ve completed the puzzle and are ready to compete in a strong NL East. Will rookie manager Luis Rojas be able to put the pieces together?
The Mets are ready to roll again. They’ve been trying to build something sustainable in the long term and added more pieces to the puzzle before this season. In 2020, their horizon doesn’t look bad thanks to a well-rounded team, but they will have to battle in a deep, strong NL East.
Even though they lost...

The Phils have made some more big organizational changes following a disappointing season. Will it pay off in 2020?
Before the 2019 season, the Phillies front office spent big trying to reach the postseason for the first time since 2011. Well, that didn’t happen. The Phillies had a nice run during the first few months of the season. After June 8, they were in first place in the NL East with a 37-27 record. However, they cratered from there and lost 54 of...
Monte was optioned to Triple-A at the end of spring training, but expanded roster rules for the 2020 season help his chances of playing in the majors on Opening Day.
Monte Harrison was on the outside looking in when the coronavirus pandemic forced MLB to shut down spring training on March 12. At that time, he was competing to make the 26-man Marlins Opening Day roster, trying to fit into an outfield that already included Lewis Brinson, Harold Ramirez, and recent signings Matt Joyce and...
