For the past several years, I have been doing some version of this exercise identifying all of the former Fish who are participating in the MLB postseason. It feels like the Miami Marlins are less represented than usual in the 2025 field, with three of the qualifiers having no direct links to the franchise.
The names below previously played major league games for the Marlins. I have excluded players who were traded away when they were still minor leaguers—Luis Castillo (now with the Seattle Mariners), Josh Naylor (Cleveland Guardians), etc.— as well as those currently assigned to MiLB affiliates such as Bryan De La Cruz (New York Yankees) and Bryan Hoeing (San Diego Padres).

Boston Red Sox:Â none
Chicago Cubs:Â Colin Rea and Craig Counsell (manager)
Cincinnati Reds:Â none
Cleveland Guardians:Â none
Detroit Tigers:Â Sean Guenther (injured)
Los Angeles Dodgers: Kiké Hernández, Miguel Rojas, Tanner Scott and Alex Vesia
