"The length of the contract isn't known, which is a key element since Tinoco isn't expected to pitch in 2026 after undergoing flexor surgery last September. It is possible the Marlins inked him to a two-year pact with an eye towards having Tinoco healthy and available for 2027, and giving him the 2026 season to rehab in a familiar environment."
"This is now the third time Tinoco has joined the Marlins over his 14-pro career, which includes six seasons in the majors (from 2019-25 with the Marlins, Cubs, Rangers, and Rockies) and the 2023 season spent in Japan with the Seibu Lions. Tinoco first arrived in South Beach after being dealt from Colorado in August 2020, and Miami then claimed Tinoco off waivers from the Cubs in July 2024."
"Fifty-one of Tinoco's 126 2/3 career Major League innings have come in a Marlins uniform, and he has a 3.00 ERA over his time with the Fish. The numbers were even better before Tinoco posted a 5.12 ERA over 19 1/3 frames last year, and is fair to assume that he was never himself following an IL stint due to a back injury, and then a forearm strain that shut him down at the start of June."
Jesus Tinoco signed a minor-league contract with the Miami Marlins after electing free agency following an outright assignment in early November. The deal's length is unknown; Tinoco underwent flexor surgery last September and is not expected to pitch in 2026. The Marlins may have signed him to a two-year pact to allow rehabilitation in 2026 and availability in 2027. Tinoco is in his 14th professional season, including six major-league seasons (2019–25) and a 2023 season with Japan's Seibu Lions. He has a 3.98 career ERA, a 19.7% strikeout rate, and relies mainly on a slider and sinker.
