Nardi’s 2025 season didn’t happen because of a lower back injury, one that he’s still recovering from. After last year, it looked like Nardi and the Marlins would move on, but the team avoided arbitration and signed him to a one-year deal last month. At 27, Nardi is still young and talented enough to take the setup role should he get healthy and somebody else falter. But with him not pitching in the bigs since August 2024, it’s hard to see him taking that spot early in 2026, if at all.
