LOS ANGELES -- The reactions from left-hander Ryan Weathers, manager Skip Schumaker and pitching coach Mel Stottlemyre Jr. said it all moments after the Dodgers’ decisive two-run homer in the sixth inning of the Marlins’ 3-1 loss on Wednesday afternoon at Dodger Stadium. Teoscar Hernández’s swing spoiled an otherwise stellar

Big league closers can come from all areas of the pitching world. Some are guys who have always been relievers, from college all the way up to the big leagues. Some were starters whose power stuff (and perhaps lack of command) were better suited for shorter stints coming out of

LOS ANGELES -- The Marlins’ 8-2 loss to the Dodgers on Tuesday night at Dodger Stadium displayed the importance of pounding the strike zone. At the top of every inning, Los Angeles right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto commanded his pitches, keeping Miami quiet outside of solo homers by Jazz Chisholm Jr. and

LOS ANGELES -- Before Luis Arraez joined the Marlins, Jazz Chisholm Jr. regularly hit leadoff for the ballclub. The dust has settled since Miami dealt Arraez to San Diego, and Chisholm once again finds himself atop the order. For the second consecutive game, Chisholm set the tone to manufacture early

OAKLAND -- After losing by 16 runs and trading away star hitter Luis Arraez on Saturday, the Marlins needed a pick-me-up at the Oakland Coliseum on Sunday. Nick Gordon delivered.

OAKLAND -- Peter Bendix was just a 12-year-old Cleveland baseball fan when his team was bested by the Marlins in the 1997 World Series. Bendix also remembers how the Marlins' front office in subsequent months traded away the core of the championship team. Now, as he sits atop the Miami

We’re still months away from the Trade Deadline, but we have already seen the first blockbuster trade of the 2024 season. Luis Arraez is headed to San Diego. The Marlins on Saturday finalized a deal with the Padres for the two-time batting champion. Miami acquired right-handed reliever Woo-Suk Go and

Just 41 days after being drafted, Noble Meyer made his Single-A debut with Jupiter at Clover Park last August. Now, 259 days later, the 19-year-old returned to St. Lucie to record a career-best outing. In Jupiter’s 4-0 victory over the St. Lucie Mets on Saturday, the top Marlins prospect twirled

It's only May, but the first blockbuster trade of the 2024 season is already in the books. The Padres have acquired two-time batting champ Luis Arraez and cash from the Marlins in exchange for reliever Woo-Suk Go and three prospects. It's a move that bolsters the top of the Padres'

The patrons of Minor League Baseball are perhaps more accustomed to odd game delays than their Major League counterparts (see Tuesday’s bee incident), but Friday’s San Antonio Missions game still left many scratching their heads. In the top of the third inning, now-Marlins prospect Nathan Martorella was on second base

OAKLAND -- Dane Myers was stretching in the outfield Friday evening when he heard the news. Instead of hitting cleanup, he’d be the leadoff man against Oakland. Wait, leadoff?

MIAMI -- When the week began, Jesús Sánchez sulked by himself in the dugout after being benched during the club’s seventh consecutive loss.

MIAMI -- Over the weekend, one reporter asked Marlins president of baseball operations Peter Bendix whether he intended to address the pitching depth being tested early on by injuries. Five players are sidelined on the starting staff alone: Sandy Alcantara, Eury Pérez, Jesús Luzardo, Braxton Garrett and A.J. Puk. “Unfortunately,

Pitchers are meant to be ahead of hitters. Sluggers need at-bats to get into the rhythm of the season, and that takes time. Or at least that’s how the popular belief goes. But some Minor League hitters are proving they don’t need time at all to come flying out of

MIAMI -- Dane Myers happened to be taking cuts off the machine with Otto Lopez and assistant hitting coach Jason Hart when Jazz Chisholm Jr. was ejected for arguing a called third strike from home-plate umpire Jansen Visconti in the seventh inning. Myers knew it was time to spring into
