The 2021 season has been abysmal for the Marlins. I’m not saying they should have won the NL East division, but after a strong 2020 in which they finished with a .517 win percentage and advanced to the postseason, this season qualifies as a failure and a setback as well.
Miami enters Tuesday with a 64-91 record and it hasn’t gotten any better as of late. The Marlins are carrying a five-game losing streak and they’ve lost 44 of their last 74 contests, trending in the wrong direction rather than building momentum for next year. This is already their seventh campaign with at least 90 losses since 2011, which is more than any other franchise during that span.
