Trading away Alcantara or Carbrera would not be sending a good message to the team or the fans if the Marlins want to be competitive. According to Castillo, it appears Miami is ready to make some moves to be better in 2026.<\/p>\n
“The Marlins exceeded external expectations with a 79-win season in 2025, and are poised to spend more money than in recent years,” wrote Castillo.<\/p>\n
“Peter Bendix, president of baseball operations, signed only three players to major league deals in his first two offseasons at the helm and has only one player —\u00a0Sandy Alcantara\u00a0— projected to make more than a few million dollars. As with nearly every team on this list, adding pitching, both in the rotation and bullpen, is a priority. Adding a corner infielder is another potential target.”<\/p>\n
Miami had some players break out in 2025, including outfielder Kyle Stowers<\/a>, who was a finalist for a Gold Glove and Silver Slugger Award. He cemented his place for the future, but if the Marlins are going to improve on their 79-83 record in 2025, they will need to make some moves, whether it’s through trades or swinging somewhere big, for them in free agency<\/a>.<\/p>\n “I was really happy with the progress of our major league team, really happy with the progress of our whole organization,” Bendix said. “We want to build on that. We think we can put together a really exciting team for 2026. We think we’re still building towards our goal of being sustainably competitive year after year.”<\/p>\n
