The Miami Marlins are heading into what will be their 34th season in franchise history, hoping to continue to build on the momentum that saw them improve their win total by 17 games in 2025.
Now, the Marlins are looking to take the next step – and could lean on the organization’s pitching depth in order to do so. Early offseason rumors have Miami potentially willing to trade from an area of strength and dangle starting pitching in order to add impact bats and/or outfield help.
Throughout their history, pitching has driven much of the success of the Marlins organization, which, while not a perennial contender, has produced two World Series titles and four playoff appearances. Their pitchers have earned a Cy Young Award, multiple Rookie of the Year awards and even a World Series MVP.
