The Miami Marlins entered 2015 with high hopes of contention, but unreasonable expectations, lack of depth, and underperformance in some areas sunk those hopes. The Marlins haven’t decided to rebuild and have expressed interest in adding middle tier starting pitching via free agency, so they appear to be pretty set on contending this upcoming season. With limited resources (in terms of money and minor league talent) and given their BaseRuns record was 75-87 (a measure of their true talent), this seems like a tall task. However, it may be possible for the Marlins to field a roster that isn’t entirely incapable of playoff contention.
