Miami Marlins Extension Candidate Series No. 10: Peter Bendix
"As you might have heard, the Miami Marlins don't tend to spend a lot of money on payroll. However, you might have also heard something about them eliminating the high spending New York Mets from playoff contention last week. You might also have heard tell of Miami's seventeen game improvement upon 2024, the largest leap in franchise history. Clearly, something is working in South Florida despite their financial limitations."
"Which is all the more reason for making sure Bendix stays put ranking very high on the Marlins offseason to do list for majority owner Bruce Sherman. Most front office contracts tend to run four years, which would have Bendix halfway through. That also means he might be halfway out the door, with the final year being one where the entire landscape of the sport could potentially change depending on how those CBA negotiations shake out."
The Miami Marlins operate with a low payroll but eliminated the high-spending New York Mets from playoff contention and posted a seventeen-game improvement over 2024, the largest leap in franchise history. Peter Bendix serves as President of Baseball Operations and credits the 2025 campaign as proof of concept for his front office approach. Bendix's contract structure likely places him midway through a typical four-year term, creating a risk of departure amid looming CBA uncertainties and potential poaching by wealthier teams. Majority owner Bruce Sherman should prioritize extending Bendix now to secure continuity in team-building success.
