Going into the offseason, there were a lot of questions surrounding the Miami Marlins and what was going to happen with their pitching staff. They had two starters, Edward Cabrera and Sandy Alcantara, who teams were interested in. It felt like the president of baseball operations, Peter Bendix, would run it back with them and see how things go leading into the trade deadline.
That did not end up being the case. In January, Bendix traded Cabrera to the Chicago Cubs and he traded left-hander Ryan Weathers to the New York Yankees. The returns were a haul of prospects combined.

Alcantara remains with Miami, but for how much longer? As far as other moves this offseason went, the Marlins brought in some free agents, but nothing is going to move the needle in the National League East.
