Latest news and updates about the Marlins
The Mets bolstered their outfield depth and defense today by adding outfielder Cristian Pache to a minor league contract. Pache, who last played in the majors in 2024, has played for the Braves, Athletics, Phillies, Orioles, and Marlins. The contract also includes an invitation to major league spring training. Pache is a defensive specialist with […]
Former Cub and Ray Christopher Morel is now a Marlin, sources reveal. It sucks about Devin Williams, who would surely have been a fine Cub. Also revealed: several MLB players have signed with teams that aren’t the Dodgers. Dennis Franz still wants to know “What is a Met?” Insiders predict that the Dodgers plan to […]
Christopher Morel is staying in Florida, just switching sides of the peninsula. The Miami Marlins are inking Morel to a one-year deal, and perhaps the most interesting part is where they plan to play him. Versatile by necessity more than by skill, Morel, who’d moved to the outfield from the left side of the infield, is now moving over to the right side of the infield: Source confirms: Free agent Christopher Morel in agreement with Marlins on one-year contract, pending physical. Expec...
The Phillies have checked the biggest item off of their offseason to-do list, as they have ensured that Kyle Schwarber will be back in Philadelphia for 2026 and beyond. There still is a lot of work to do, namely answering the J.T. Realmuto question and remaking the outfield, but retaining Schwarber or finding a replacement […]
Florida's Joe Robbie Stadium and the Florida Marlins hosted Gay Day in 1998, a few years before Dodgers Pride and Out at Wrigley. The post The first MLB Pride Night was earlier than you think — and hosted by the Marlins appeared first on Outsports .
The MLB Hot Stove is finally ready to start heating up. In one week, every front office in baseball (yes, even the Marlins and Pirates will probably attend!) will head to Orlando for the start of the Winter Meetings, MLB’s annual shopping bazaar. Free agents will sign. Trades will be consummated. Scott Boras will hold […]
It’s an unfortunate and familiar story. Giancarlo Stanton misses a considerable amount of time with injury during the regular season. The frequency with which this has happened since the Yankees acquired him from the Marlins is distressing not only for the team, but for him. From the beginning of the 2019 season onward, Giancarlo has […]
You all know the story of Marlins right-hander Sandy Alcantara. He had several good seasons in Miami, including winning the Cy Young Award in 2022 at age 26. It looked like he was headed for a good-to-great career, until Tommy John surgery cost him the entire 2024 season. Returning in 2025, he had a typical […]
David Finley has been with the Dodgers since 2015, the first year Andrew Friedman took over as president of baseball operations in Los Angeles. Finley, the team’s vice president of scouting, has won seven championships during his scouting career – 1997 with the Florida Marlins, 2004, 2007, and 2013 with the Boston Red Sox, and […]
Meet the Mets Prepare for some discourse about the Mets’ clubhouse, as the NY Post revealed some unsavory details about the state of the team’s locker room chemistry in 2025. Around the National League East The Good Phight reviewed the 2025 season for Zack Wheeler while also looking at his future. The Marlins may be […]
After the disappointing 2025 campaign, which saw the Mets go from one of the best records in baseball to missing the playoffs on a final day of the season loss to the Marlins (stop me if you heard that one before), President of Baseball Operations David Stearns promised change, in no uncertain terms. One of […]
Morning, all! The Rangers started the offseason with a pretty lengthy to-do list , but they’ve made significant progress in addressing the bullet points. The Rangers have signed infielder Jonah Bride to a minor league deal. Bride had a breakout year with the Marlins in 2025. Marcus Semien was surprised to hear he was going […]
Even after Shota Imanaga accepted his one-year, $22M qualifying offer last week, the Chicago Cubs are expected to pursue another front-half-of-the-rotation starting pitcher this offseason. Whether that pitcher is signed out of free agency ( Dylan Cease , Tatsuya Imai , Michael King , Zac Gallen , etc.) or acquired via trade ( Joe Ryan , Kris Bubic , Sandy Alcantara , Edward Cabrera , MacKenzie Gore , etc.) remains to be seen. But the need, willingness to act, and supply of quality options...
Longtime Dodgers broadcaster and outfielder Rick Monday turned 80 on Thursday. One day earlier, he was presented with The Bob Feller Act of Valor Patriot Award in Washington D.C., an honor given by Feller’s foundation annually to “a former MLB player who demonstrates the Foundation’s 4 Pillars of Service, Sacrifice, Citizenship and Legacy.” Mark Langill […]
The Texas Rangers have announced the major league coaching staff for 2025. New manager Skip Schumaker is bringing back Luis Urueta as bench coach, the position which Urueta held under Bruce Bochy last year. Urueta was Schumaker’s bench coach during Schumaker’s two seasons as manager of the Miami Marlins in 2023-24. Justin Viele will be […]
As we all know, there are some matters of concern about the extent to which the Chicago Cubs spend commensurate with revenue, market size, and brand identity. I’m not about to throw stones without at least some measure of humility. But there’s a nine-figure chasm between the Cubs’ alleged parsimony and that deployed by clubs like the Pittsburgh Pirates and Miami Marlins. Two clubs that have been the subject of grievance(s?) by the MLB Players Association for how little they actually spend...
Earlier this week, the Miami Marlins announced their new General Manager, and it was a name very familiar to Phillies fans. Quick refresher: After the Ruben Amaro reign ended, the Phillies were determined to pivot hard in the other direction and become the most analytically based organization in baseball. To that end, before the 2018 […]
Brett de Geus certainly gets around. Since being drafted in 2017, Brett de Geus has spent time with nine different organizations, including two stints with the Miami Marlins. He started the year with the Blue Jays (who had claimed him off waivers in September), but they sold him to the Pirates, with whom he opened […]
The Phillies made a bit of a surprise trade last offseason when they acquired Jesús Luzardo from the Miami Marlins in exchange for one of their top prospects in Starlyn Caba. The price for Luzardo wasn’t necessarily the surprise, but rather that the Phillies were acquiring another starting pitcher despite already boasting one of the […]
Coming off a season where they made a surprise push towards contention and ultimately finished just four games out of a playoff spot with a 79-83 record, the Marlins look poised to try and take a step forward towards more serious contention this winter. That could mean looking to add, and reporting has already indicated…

Like the Nats in general They are now nearly what I feared they'd be last post. Worst of the rest. Only the Athletics are standing in their way. They are clearly behind the Marlins now. Hell so are the Braves. Things have gotten so bad the team is trying to get you excited for the idea of Paul DeJong coming back and DHing even though he can't hit. What the hell are we doing here people? Kick anyone over 27 to the curb. Just play kids...
Photo by Matthew Stockman/Getty Images Strong Sandy, Soler, and surprise Davis all star in route of Rockies. The last time Sandy Alcantara stood on the pitcher’s mound at Coors Field on August 6, 2021, then-manager Don Mattingly took the ball from his ace in what, to this day, remains a career-worst outing. Lasting just 3.2 innings, the future unanimous NL Cy Young coughed up 10 runs on 10 hits, surrendering 3 home runs. By Game Score - of which Sandy totaled a score of 0 - it was and s...
Photo by Peter Joneleit/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images An updated look at the top Miami Marlins prospects. For a low-budget franchise like the Miami Marlins, scouting and player development will always be crucial. To ultimately compete at the major league level, the Fish must first identify players with promising talent and makeup, then bring out the best in them. Some will matriculate to Miami’s roster, while others will be flipped elsewhere for more complementary pieces, and the reali...
