The Miami Marlins should view the next two months as a preview of things to come, not things that have already happened. A 41-57 season isn’t great, but the Marlins currently sit in fourth place in the National League East, percentage points ahead of the New York Mets. There is ground to gain and two series against Tampa Bay and Atlanta could make a statement pertaining to what lies ahead.
While there are still two days until games resume, Marlins management is fielding trade offers and discussing what moves will be made in bringing up minor league talent.
