For years the Miami Marlins have struggled to keep a consistent roster together. With a poor record (10-29) to start the season, a playoff run looks highly unlikely this season.
Also, in traditional Marlins’ fashion, the team has already begun to sell off big name players as last week they traded Luis Arraez to the San Diego Padres. The fire sale mode of the team could mean that multiple MLBbros could be on the move.
These MLBbros could benefit from a change of scenery and this unstable losing environment.
Jazz Chisholm Jr.
This MLBbro has spent his entire five-year career with the Marlins, and he has electrified their fans with his flashy style and innovative style.
While ideally Chisholm would be a cornerstone piece for the future of the team, there is no certainty of this. Currently the MLBbro center fielder is batting .236 with five home runs and 20 RBI.
Jazz was an All-Star as recently as 2022 and still provides great speed and versatility, being able to play second base, shortstop, and center field. He is under team control for the next two seasons, so his availability is something to monitor around the league.
Josh Bell
When the Miami Marlins acquired Josh Bell last year, he showed surges of power and was supposed to provide the team with a run-producer in the middle of the lineup.
He was much more impressive with them than he was with his previous team the Cleveland Guardians, hitting the same number of homers in 53 games with Miami (11) as he hit in 97 games with the Guardians.
This year has been bad to say the least. He is on pace for the worst statistical season of his career. There are numerous teams who are always willing to take a chance at switch-hitting power. What Bell lacks defensively, he makes up for with his effectiveness as a DH. He can also fill in as a below average first baseman defensively. When he’s rolling he’s a force.
Tim Anderson
Our last MLBbro in this entry has been on the decline for some time.
Signing Tim Anderson made a lot of sense at the time, adding a veteran to a younger team should have yielded dividends. However, Anderson has struggled to hit for power (zero home runs) and average (.203). With him still providing solid defense at shortstop he could possibly end up on a team willing to take a chance on him, especially due to his manageable contract status (one-year $5 million). But this experiment has simply not worked for the Marlins and if given a decent offer for the MLBbro they should readily accept.
