As the Marlins replenished their farm system over the last few seasons, pitching emerged as an early strength. The club loaded up on arms with potential across multiple avenues, but got started predominantly via the trade market, acquiring current rotation stalwarts Sandy Alcantara, Pablo López, Sixto Sánchez—as well as Nick Neidert—over an 18 month stretch in three separate deals. All the while, however, the team continued to add to their stockpile through the draft and development, selecting Braxton Garrett and Trevor Rogers with first round picks, molding Edward Cabrera into potential frontline arm, and even snagging Elieser Hernandez in the Rule 5 draft and subsequently getting solid production out of him in the rotation.
