"The Marlins are gearing up for what could be their busiest offseason in years, as all indication point to at least some willingness to spend in free agency this winter coming off a 79-win campaign in 2025 where the team enjoyed the emergence of players like Kyle Stowers and Jakob Marsee as valuable pieces. At the same time, they've got plenty of holes that could make it difficult to compete in what figures to be a stacked NL East next year"
"There's certainly some logic in that, as the 2022 NL Cy Young award winner was one of the league's best pitchers in the not-too-distant past. A season where Alcantara pitched to a 5.36 ERA across 31 starts surely lowered his value, but if the Marlins still believe in the 30-year-old there's no reason to sell low. That's especially true because he's one of the few players on the Marlins' roster making significant money."
The Marlins plan for a busy offseason with some willingness to spend after a 79-win 2025 season and the emergence of Kyle Stowers and Jakob Marsee. The roster still has significant holes that could hinder competing in a stacked NL East with the Mets, Phillies, and Braves all likely improving. The team must balance immediate upgrades with long-term building, which could limit trades of former assets. Sandy Alcantara is expected to remain given his past Cy Young-level performance and salary implications, while Edward Cabrera is the more likely trade candidate only for an overwhelming return.
