Latest news and updates about the Marlins
Today’s roster move: Here Saturday notes… Cubs lineup: Marlins lineup: Javier Assad, RHP vs. Ryan Gusto, RHP In the words we used to use all the time for Kyle Hendricks: “All he does is get guys out.” That really does apply to Javier Assad, who returns to make this start. The assumption I make is […]

Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 10, Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp (Marlins) 5 The Tides brought the lumber with double-digit runs and hits, plus nine walks, overcoming an early 4-0 deficit for a runaway victory.

Cubs manager Craig Counsell announced in his postgame remarks Friday that Javier Assad would start today’s game against the Marlins. And so, Assad has indeed been recalled from his relegation to Triple-A Iowa and has rejoined the 28-man active roster for the start this afternoon. Overall this year in 22 games covering 83.1 innings, Assad […]
This was not a vintage 2026 Cubs win, though another win by five runs is plenty acceptable. This one didn’t get out of hand and there wasn’t a lot of offensive heroics. Largely, the offense had one very good inning and the team rode that and really strong pitching to a second straight win. The […]
The Cubs got their series in South Florida against the Marlins off to a strong start with an impressive victory Friday night. Starter Shōta Imanaga had a nice bounce-back performance to lead the way in a relatively comfortable win. Chicago went in front on Janson Junk via an RBI groundout by Pedro Ramírez in the … The post Chicago Cubs Score and Recap (9/4/26): Cubs 6, Marlins 1 – Shōta Shoves in W appeared first on .

In the preview to this game that I posted Friday afternoon, I wrote: Personally, if I were making the decisions for the Cubs, I would not have Shōta Imanaga make this start. Well. Couldn’t be happier to have been wrong about that. Imanaga had one of his best outings of the 2026 season, allowing just […]

Go get ‘em, Shōta.
Friday notes… Cubs lineup: Marlins lineup: Shōta Imanaga, LHP vs. Janson Junk, RHP Well. Personally, if I were making the decisions for the Cubs, I would not have Shōta Imanaga make this start. He’s been back to bad Shōta lately, with a 7.13 ERA and 1.528 WHIP over his last four starts, with eight (!) […]

The Cubs managed to make it out of town on a high note, riding a Pete Crow-Armstrong homer and a complete pitching performance to a series-halving victory. Now they face a Marlins team that has been hovering right around the .500 mark for most of the season. That might present a bit of a reprieve … The post Chicago Cubs Lineup (8/4/26): Imanaga Gets Another Shot in Miami appeared first on .
The Dodgers’ $2 billion-plus sale in 2012 looked like a blockbuster. Inside MLB’s ownership circles, though, the number raised a different question: why did the price suddenly jump? David Samson, then-president of the Miami Marlins, revisited the deal on the Pablo Torre Finds Out podcast. He recalled several groups competing for the Dodgers during their […] The post “What Is Really Going On?”: Ex-Marlins President Exposes MLB’s Controversial Role Behind $2B Dodgers’ Purchase by Mark Walter a...
The Cubs last played the Marlins May 21, 2025. They won that game 2-1. That was 471 days ago, so long ago that it was the day of Cade Horton’s second MLB start and Matt Mervis was the Marlins’ designated hitter. Things are, obviously, very different now for both teams. The good news here is […]

The Cubs (79-62) managed to split their series with the first-place Brewers at Wrigley Field this week to stay near the top Wild Card spot. With the division largely decided barring a massive Milwaukee collapse, the focus can shift to securing home-field advantage in the first round of the playoffs and trying to stabilize the … The post Chicago Cubs @ Miami Marlins – Series Preview (September 4-6): Overview, Game and Broadcast Info, Starting Pitchers, W2W4 appeared first on .
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 10, Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp (Marlins) 9 — F/10 The Jumbo Shrimp struck for two in the top of the tenth, but Norfolk walked it off in the bottom half. José Barrero trimmed the lead to one with a base hit, and Brandon Butterworth stepped in with the tying and go-ahead runs in […]
Despite falling behind early, the Royals fought back thanks to the arm of Michael Wacha and timely hits by Carter Jensen and Jac Caglianone to win the third and final game of their series against the Miami Marlins, 7-3. The win improves the Royals record to 63-78. Which means, of course, that the Royals will […]
Lately, I’ve been writing game discussions and recaps after unfortunate events. Last Thursday, I wrote the game thread the day after the nine-game winning streak snapped. Today, it’s following the end of five straight series wins. But that’s okay. Listen, if you were thinking that the Royals could make the playoffs during this stretch of […]
The Marlins announced that they have recalled infielder Deyvison De Los Santos and designated fellow infielder Leo Jiménez for assignment. Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reported the moves prior to the official announcement. The Fish acquired Jiménez from the Blue Jays at the start of this season, after Toronto had designated him for assignment. Miami sent […]
The Braves, Mets, Marlins, Phillies and Nationals could all lose valuable MLB free agents after the month of September, or in some cases the MLB Playoffs.
Connor Norby finally had an opportunity to square off against someone who will be forever linked to him. Back in July 2024, when Norby was with Baltimore—the team that drafted him in the second round that year—the native of Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, was traded to the Miami Marlins for Orioles pitcher Trevor Rogers. While still […]

The Braves did something Wednesday afternoon they haven’t done in a long time — score more than six runs. You have to go all the way back to August 6th against the Marlins to find the last time that happened, which is even more remarkable considering they won seven straight games at one point during […]
