It’s not a secret that the Marlins have fallen short of their goals for this season. Even so, their remaining games are important for the development of many of their players. Taking into account their long rebuilding process and the fact that they want to be better in 2022 and beyond, Miami needs to clarify some huge spots thinking about next season.
Starter Jesús Luzardo and outfielder Bryan De La Cruz are two main examples. Both are young, talented, and were recently acquired by the Marlins before the trade deadline from the Athletics (for Starling Marté) and the Astros (for Yimi García), respectively.
