Scrappy. Gritty. Tough. When using these adjectives to describe a sports team, they can sometimes be code for a team that can beat you on any given day, but oftentimes isn’t very good. I present to you the 2023 Miami Marlins. The Marlins are coming off a fourth place finish in a tough NL East, and they project to finish near the bottom again in 2023. The acquisitions of Jean Segura and Luis Arraez bolster this roster offensively, but will it be enough to contend in any form? The simple answer is no.
Miami Marlins
2022 record: 69-93 (4th, NL East)
2023 FanGraphs projection: 75-87 (4th, NL East)
