The MLB season has reached one of the most enticing pinnacles. If the rumors of potential trades before July 31 were not already flying like first grade paper airplanes, then they certainly will for the next two weeks. This is especially the case for the Miami Marlins. While they are not nearly as bad as their preseason predictions indicated (I had them dead last in the MLB at 63-99), they are still in a position to be sellers for the trade deadline. They have done their best to beef up...
Welcome to the 2018 Marlins Prospect Journal A lot has been said about the Miami Marlins new front office since they took over the team in October from disaster artist Jeffrey Loria and his crew of franchise destroyers. The ownership group, headed by businessman Bruce Sherman and legendary New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter, took over a team $400 million in debt and deep in the middle of an identity crisis. With an outfield full of All-Stars (LF Marcell Ozuna, CF Christian Yelich, and...
MIAMI (AP) — By one reading of the Derek Jeter meter, not much has changed with the Miami Marlins since he took over. They have by far the worst run differential in the National League. Their record has been the NL’s worst for much of the season. They’re a distant last in the majors in attendance. But within the franchise, optimism is the highest it has been since unpopular owner Jeffrey Loria put the Marlins up for sale in early 2017. Evidence suggests the new ownership group,...
Moving forward, the organization will continue to assess which players match what they are building, and which are more likely trade targets. Here's a look at where the Marlins stand at the season's halfway point.

J.T. Realmuto was nearly heroic in the All-Star Game Tuesday night. He had walked to get on base in the ninth inning before the Reds’ Scooter Gennett drove him in with a game-tying home run. The National League had taken the momentum for the first time in the game, but last year’s World...

Brian Anderson had an excellent all-around first half for the Marlins.
Brian Anderson isn’t the star we were expecting, but he’s definitely the star we need.
Hanley Ramírez. Chris Coghlan. Giancarlo Stanton. The list goes on and on with great Marlins rookie hitters, but we may be witnessing the best yet.
As a relentless worker with a quiet demeanor, Andy has had to deal with a lot in the first half of a rookie season. As a career third baseman, he was widely expected to man the hot...

Cameron Maybin has a gig for the moment, and he's running at will.
The Marlins were repped proudly by their outstanding catcher.
J.T. Realmuto was the lone representative for the Marlins at the 2018 MLB All-Star Game, but he had plenty of company over the course of two eventful days in Washington, D.C. Reporters, family members and former teammates all wanted a piece of the National League’s top catcher.
There’s Realmuto during Monday’s media availability prior to the Home Run Derby:

The Snapple-sponsored event at GEICO All-Star FanFest was a duel between Floyd and Hall of Famer Cal Ripken Jr. Cliff Floyd’s accolades with the Marlins included 1997 World Series champion and 2001 NL All-Star selection. He still ranks among the top 10 on the franchise’s all-time leaderboards in home runs, runs batted in and OPS. Nearly a decade removed from his playing days, Floyd hasn’t lost his desire to win on the big stage. Matched up against baseball immortal Cal Ripken Jr. in...

Some Marlins links to kick off All-Star festivities!
Marlins take two of the three from the PhilliesThe Marlins’ provided their own fireworks in yesterday’s win against the Phillies. Jose Ureña’s start was cut short when he allowed five runs in the fourth inning, but the Fish stormed back with an eight-run fifth-inning that began with Cameron Maybin’s second home run of the season. NL ROY candidate Brian Anderson aka The Process Daddy drove in three runs with his eighth home run,...
Although we all like to pretend we may understand the depth and sincerity of certain professional athlete’s superstitions, I’m not sure I truly understand how serious some players take them. Take Starlin Castro, for example. The Marlins’ second baseman only exits out of one dugout opening/doorway if he’s doing well, but switches it up if he has a bad at-bat. And that process apparently goes on and on until he finds a rhythm. Castro was on the Cubs – my favorite team – for years...
It’s been weird, mostly mediocre baseball, but also...fun?
Have you been following the Marlins this season? It’s OK to say no! Even the most optimistic among us forecasted a losing record for them in 2018, and some fans cannot bear to watch a team that’s doomed for short-term irrelevance.
However, the first three-and-a-half months have been surprisingly entertaining. Freed from any expectations, every win is extra sweet and sustained winning that we’ve witnessed in recent weeks...
The Nationals could be willing to “revisit” talks with the Marlins about J.T. Realmuto, according to Fancred Sports’ Jon Heyman. The Nats have long been connected to Realmuto, though GM Mike Rizzo seemingly threw cold water on the potential of a trade a few weeks ago by saying that his team wasn’t willing to meet Miami’s very high asking price for the star catcher. Now, there is some belief that Washington could be open to dealing star outfield prospect Victor Robles, though...
The Marlins open their second half at 7:10 p.m. ET on Friday against the Rays, and they are going with right-hander Dan Straily in the series opener. Straily, who missed most of April after opening the season on the DL, has gotten sharper. In three July starts, his ERA is 2.84. Tampa Bay will counter with former Marlins pitcher Nathan Eovaldi.
The Washington Nationals are feeling a bit of urgency as their struggles continue, and it could push them to make a bigger deal than they perhaps anticipated.According to Jon Heyman of Fancred Sports, the Nationals could “revisit” a trade pursuit of Miami Marlins catcher J.T. Realmuto as they seek to upgrade the position. Some executives even believe the Nationals would consider offering top prospect Victor Robles to land Realmuto from the Marlins.Nationals catchers have hit just .186...
