Scrappy.Gritty.Tough.When using these adjectives to describe a sports team, they can sometimes be code for a team that can beat you on any given day, but oftentimes isn't very good.I present to you the 2023 Miami Marlins.The Marlins are coming off a fourth place finish in a tough NL East, and they project to finish near the bottom again in 2023.

The Twins traded reigning AL batting champion Luis Arraez to the Miami Marlins on Friday for a three-player package featuring starting pitcher Pablo López.The 25-year-old Arraez had a breakout season for Minnesota last year, making his first All-Star team while batting a league-best .316and denying Aaron Judge a Triple Crown.

Tuesday's Marlins MiLB notes: In what's supposed to be his penultimate rehab game, Joey Wendle (Jacksonville) went 0-for-5 with four strikeouts (all swinging).For context, Wendle has never had a "golden sombrero" during his major league career.Eury Pérez (Pensacola) struck out 11 of the 18 batters he faced.

MIAMI-After playing a doubleheader on Monday, the Atlanta Braves rolled into loanDepot Park on Tuesday ready to face Sandy Alcantara for the second time in 6 days.Asked pregame whether or not facing the same pitcher in back-to-back series could be an advantage for the hitters, manager Skip Schumaker didn't think so.

I know everyone is excited by the recent exploits of Gray and Gore.The latter has ace stuff working outside of his control, which is often the last thing star guys get.So let's say everything works out and the Nats have a #1 in Gore and a good 2/3 type in Gray.Rebuild set for success?Well I have two words for you.

Puk, Trevor Rogers, Jesús Sánchez, Tanner Scott, Jean Segura, Jorge Soler, Jacob Stallings and Joey Wendle.

Despite an above-average rotation that benefited immensely from eventual NL Cy Young Award winner Sandy Alcantara, the Marlins posted a disappointing 69-93 record in 2022.Aside from a 31-29 finish and a playoff berth in the shortened 2020 season, they haven't finished above .500since 2009, and have five sub-70-win seasons since then.

Seeking their first win in the Skip Schumaker era, the Marlins looked to Jesús Luzardo to set the tone at the Ballpark of the Palm Beaches.The tone was set as he began the game by striking out former AL MVP José Altuve with a nasty changeup.He induced a flyout to right field from Jeremy Pena, then got J.J. Matijevic to line one off his glove to Berti at short, who fired to Groshans at first for the out to end the inning.

Take two more names off the free agent board, as Noah Syndergaard has gone to the Dodgers and Michael Lorenzen will play for Detroit in 2023.No, they probably weren't going to be Yankees anyway (though Sam did have a fortunately-timed free agent target post yesterday on Thor), but if you were keeping track, scratch 'em off.
