Which ex-Marlin will haunt Miami most as NL East rival?

The Marlins do not regret their decisions to trade All-Stars J.T. Realmuto and Marcell Ozuna. It is aggravating that the franchise is unwilling to pay players of their caliber fair market value on long-term contracts. However, both were flipped for young, controllable talent at the appropriate time. Six of the seven total players received for them have already reached the majors with Miami and flashed their exciting potential.

That being said, the Marlins cannot completely turn the page on that era. While other key pieces from the old core have settled outside the NL East (or left Major League Baseball entirely), Realmuto and Ozuna recently re-upped with their 2020 teams, the Phillies and Braves, respectively.
