“The Miami Marlins boast one of the best young rotations in the sport.”
It is inarguable and exciting, but ultimately pointless should the team not supplement that with a core of talented position players and competent relievers.
Early indications are that the Marlins have not done enough to contend in 2022. In the first in a string of “put up or shut up” years for the Fish, they’re playing sub-.500 baseball. The National League East division title is already looking like a pipedream and they have merely the 10th-best record in the 15-team NL entering Monday.
They are not bad enough to contemplate a full rebuild, but the front office must be open to making substantial moves that optimize the organization for 2023 and beyond.
