Idealizing a Pablo López Blockbuster

“The Miami Marlins boast one of the best young rotations in the sport.”

It is inarguable and exciting, but ultimately pointless should the team not supplement that with a core of talented position players and competent relievers.

Early indications are that the Marlins have not done enough to contend in 2022. In the first in a string of “put up or shut up” years for the Fish, they’re playing sub-.500 baseball. The National League East division title is already looking like a pipedream and they have merely the 10th-best record in the 15-team NL entering Monday.

They are not bad enough to contemplate a full rebuild, but the front office must be open to making substantial moves that optimize the organization for 2023 and beyond.
