With a DH, the Marlins can insert all of their big bats in the lineup without stopping their prospect development.
Though still unclear whether the designated hitter will be a part of the National League in 2021, if I were a member of the Marlins front office or even, for that matter, manager Don Mattingly, I would be praying for that to happen.
The potential for the DH to stay in the senior circuit—instead of the pitcher hitting in the...

El parador en corto de los Marlins mejoró hasta convertirse en un bateador amenazante en la alineación de Don Mattingly.
Para nadie es un secreto que Miguel Rojas fue una de las grandes razones por las que los Marlins de Miami llegaron tan lejos, incluso más de lo esperado, en la temporada 2020 de las Grandes Ligas. El parador en corto no solo lució a la defensiva, sino también con el madero en la caja de bateadores.
Pero esto último quizás habría sido...

The Miami Marlins have a unique history compared to other teams in the MLB. They began playing as an expansion team in the 1993 season as the Florida Marlins and eventually moved to Marlins Park for their first home game in 2012. Despite their short run, they won the World Series during their first two postseason runs in 1997 and 2003.
To honor their accomplishments, let’s look at the 3 most incredible games in their history as we quickly approach their 30th birthday in...

With a starting pitching market full of established arms, a depressed economic landscape due to the COVID-19 pandemic could allow Miami to acquire quality pitching at a fraction of the usual cost.
A noticeable strength of the up-and-coming Miami Marlins is their young starting pitching. Sandy Alcantara, Pablo López, and Sixto Sánchez all appear to be locks entering 2021, but with questions surrounding the long-term projection of Elieser Hernandez, and the quandary...

Two talented position player prospects move one step closer to the big leagues.
The Marlins kept us in suspense, waiting more than half an hour past the Friday 6 p.m. ET deadline to make it official. But their decisions were as expected: infielder José Devers and outfielder Jerar Encarnación have been selected to the 40-man roster. This protects them from the upcoming Rule 5 Draft (held annually at the end of the MLB winter meetings).
Devers, who turns 21...
The Marlins announced that they have added infielder Jose Devers and outfielder Jerar Encarnacion to their 40-man roster, which is now full. Devers, the cousin of Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers, joined the Marlins in the team’s trade with the Yankees centering on outfielder Giancarlo Stanton before the 2018 campaign.

Once again, the 30-year-old was a valuable piece for the Marlins, thanks in part to his discipline in the batter’s box.
There were many good things about the 2020 Marlins team. Chief among them: Jon Berti. He was an on-base machine and he combined that skill with his impressive speed on the base paths.
While a .258 batting average may read as a cause for concern to baseball purists, Berti made up for it thanks to posting a .388 on-base...

Despite his lack of top prospect pedigree, Castano transitioned well to the majors for a Marlins team that was desperate for an innings-eater.
Exactly 10% of all Marlins games during the 2020 season were started by Daniel Castano. That would have sounded surprising—and troubling—at this time a year ago considering the numerous, higher-rated arms who were ahead of him on the depth chart. You would’ve thought, “What went wrong?!”
Of course, there was...
