The chances of the Miami Marlins making the playoffs in 2017 sit at 4.2 percent. They’re seven games below the even mark that they’ve been fighting to get back to for several months. It appears that will be the narrative for the rest of the season.
As such, it makes sense that the Marlins would be sellers at the deadline. They have a number of pieces that teams around the league covet. And with their history of tearing apart their teams and starting from zero, fire sale talks are understandable.
But for all intents and purposes, the Miami Marlins will mostly stand pat at the deadline.
