The Marlins remain an imbalanced team at the Major League level and in their farm system. They struggled to develop positional players, but their pitching continues to be one of the best in the league.
The top two prospects are pitchers Thomas White and Noble Meyer. While Meyer was taken ahead of White in the 2023 draft, White emerged as the better prospect as Meyer struggled to throw strikes. The best positional players were acquired through trades. I like the two Yankees they acquired for Jazz Chisholm in Augustin Ramirez and Jared Serna, but neither has Chisholm’s upside. Connor Norby missed our list as he lost eligibility, but of all the prospects they acquired at the deadline last July, he has the highest upside and has started showing his wares in Miami.
With all the noted caveats, the system is better today than it was a year ago. Is it good enough to get to the playoffs in three years? I actually think it is.
