The Miami Marlins missed the postseason in 2024 with a record of 62-100 after making the playoffs in 2023 with a record of 84-78.
In 21 seasons since winning the World Series in 2003, the Marlins have made the postseason twice, with their furthest run ending in the National League Division Series.
The Marlins will have a new manager in 2025 after they announced the hiring of Los Angeles Dodgers first base coach Clayton McCullough.
McCullough revealed what he learned from being in the Dodgers organization and what he wants to bring with him to the Marlins.
“One thing that stood out for me in L.A. was … they put players first,” McCullough said, via Foul Territory.

McCullough had the opportunity to coach in an organization that knows how to win, as the Dodgers have eight World Series titles after winning it in 2024.
The Marlins hope that McCullough can turn things around after they suffered their first 100-loss season since 2013.
One thing that stands out about his comments is that the Dodgers continue to develop players even when they reach the major leagues.
Most MLB players want to continue to get better even after they make it to the highest level, and McCullough plans to bring that energy with him to the Marlins in 2025.
The Marlins played their first year as an organization in 1993, and even though they have two World Series titles, they have never won the NL East, and McCullough will look to change that.
