While the Miami Marlins rebuild might be finished sooner than expected, the Marlins remain far from a finished product. If you wanted to tell the story of the 2025 Miami Marlins in a single sentence, the above would get the job done. If you want to think of them as a homework assignment, "shows promise but needs improvement" is what will get scrawled across the top in red ink. Which is hardly an insult.

There were definitely plenty of fireworks in this most recent showdown between the Miami Marlins and the New York Mets. Pete Alonso continued his Marlin killing ways. Juan Soto continued being Juan Soto. Marlins manager Clayton McCullough continued to make puzzling pitching moves. Jakob Marsee continued to look like a star in the making. Agustin Ramirez continued to look like a guy that really, really shouldn't play catcher. In other words, plenty of potential storylines.

Enter Carlos Santana, recently released by the Cleveland Guardians. The former All-Star and Gold Glove winner has certainly lost a step offensively, but the defense is still very much there. That Gold Glove came as recently as 2024, after all, and he's been very good again defensively this year. Even with a dip in power and a paltry .225 BA, he can still be relied upon to work a walk when he needs to.

The team dropped the schedule on Twitter early Tuesday afternoon, with a pretty fun, and interesting, hype video. As for the full schedule, you can start s crolling through that here. The video though? A nostalgia filled romp down memory lane that was everything a Marlins fan over thirty (also known as the bulk of season ticket buyers) could want. Yet it also contained a few key breadcrumbs that Marlins fans of all ages should be thinking about between now and Opening Day 2026.

Luis Gil made his 2025 debut for the Yankees, struggling through 3.1 innings, allowing five earned runs and walking four batters, leading to a 7-3 loss.

Blake Perkins singled home the winning run in the ninth inning as the Milwaukee Brewers rallied to beat the Miami Marlins 3-2, avoiding a sweep.

Anthony Mazur delivered 5 2/3 innings against the Phillies, allowing five hits and four earned runs. His outing provided a glimpse into his potential as a key player.

The Miami Marlins announced that Ryan Weathers would be placed on the 60-day injured list, creating further instability in an already thin pitching rotation.

The Miami Marlins drafted 21 college players for the first time in franchise history, avoiding high school selections entirely.

Miami starter Janson Junk achieved a scoreless outing, holding the Orioles to five hits across seven innings, leading to a 6-0 victory and ending a losing streak.

Devin Booker has made NBA history with a two-year, $145 million maximum contract extension, locking him in through the 2029-30 season, equating to $72.5 million per year, the highest average annual salary in NBA history.

The Marlins, a repeatedly enfeebled team made up predominantly of players either on their way to other teams or weekend shifts at Best Buy, have won seven consecutive games.

Rookie Heriberto Hernandez shone in a crucial game for the Miami Marlins, driving in four runs including a two-out, two-run single that shifted the game's momentum.
