"The Miami Marlins are looking to make some big investments into the MLB roster, starting with a contract extension for an All-Star outfielder. That's the rumor here in good old (?) 2025, as The Athletic reported yesterday that the Marlins are looking to make some splashes in free agency and that talks recently stalled between the team and Kyle Stowers."
"The Miami Marlins wanting to spend is welcome news for their fans, and we touched on some of the ramifications of that for team building earlier today. In fact, just about every avenue out there for Marlins news did so, further underscoring how thirsty the fanbase is for Miami to start acting like an MLB team. That will undoubtedly continue over the next few weeks heading into the Winter Meetings as those Hot Stove rumors heat up even further."
The Miami Marlins are aiming to increase roster spending and pursue a long-term contract for an All-Star outfielder. Contract talks with Kyle Stowers reportedly stalled because of a substantial difference between the player's asking price and the team's offer. Reports suggest Stowers' camp sought about $100 million while Miami's figure may be closer to $50 million, with the likely truth between those amounts. Fan reaction mixed but largely hopeful intensified coverage ahead of the Winter Meetings. The situation recalls Miami's March 2015 seven-year, $49,570,000 extension of Christian Yelich and serves as a financial reference point.
