The Miami Marlins heading into 2026 have a lot of things going right for them, following a season in which they outperformed expectations and looked to be quite competitive for much of the year. While they still have plenty of room to grow as a team, much of that comes from their roster being relatively young at its core. With plenty of players just entering the prime years of their careers, the time to capitalize is now for the Marlins.
That will come in various forms, both via free agency acquisitions, trades, waiver claims and additional promotions for their prospects. With multiple top prospects nearing their time for a Major League debut, the 2026 season could bring some fun developmental projects to the roster to continue the trend of building through their own system.
Two of the top names in that group are pitchers Thomas White and Robby Snelling, the No. 1 and No. 3 prospects for the team according to MLB Pipeline. With both currently in Triple-A, they are continuing to improve and look towards their respective futures, which, in 2026, could include playing their first games in the MLB. FanGraphs believes this will be the case, with both players receiving statistics in their 2026 steamer projections.
