The Marlins have what looks to be a friendly schedule in the coming weeks that will take them up to and through the August 2 MLB trade deadline. That’s good news for an inconsistent team that enters Wednesday with a 41-45 record, five games back of the nearest National League postseason spot. But for them to take full advantage of these winnable games, I believe Miami should begin to make moves as soon as possible, improving the roster with more impactful and complementary players.
The Marlins are close enough to keep competing for 2022 thanks to the expected returns of several important pieces from the injured list.
