The Miami Marlins missed the postseason in 2024 after finishing in last place in the National League East with a record of 62-100.
Since winning the World Series in 2003, the Marlins have only made the postseason two times which included being swept in the National League Division Series and being swept in the wild-card round.
The Marlins have never won a division title since their inaugural season in 1993, and it does not appear like 2025 will change that.
Sunday included a trade involving the Marlins and the Philadelphia Phillies where the Marlins sent starting pitcher Jesus Luzardo to the Phillies for prospects in return.
Fans appear to have similar opinions on social media regarding the Marlins trade on Sunday.
The #Marlins game plan is to trade their best players for top-prospects who either don’t pan out or become their best players who they trade for top-prospects. pic.twitter.com/7PDpYhWYwI

The Marlins will now enter a 5-year rebuild, just after being in a 5-year rebuild, following their original 5-year rebuild https://t.co/bORO0lvDqn

Congrats to Jesus Luzardo for escaping the hellhole that the @Marlins are. You’re gonna do big things in Philly. You’re finally in an organization that is in the business of winning ballgames, competing for championships, and loves their fan base.

Fans are not thrilled with the Marlins organization after trading one of their best pitchers away for prospects.
One fan mentions that the Marlins seem to be in rebuild after rebuild and can’t seem to obtain a competitive roster.
Luzardo battled injuries in 2024 and only started 12 games for the club where he had a record of 3-6 with a 5.00 ERA and 58 strikeouts in 66.2 innings pitched.
While Luzardo didn’t impress in 2024, his 2023 season when he was fully healthy was a different story.
In 2023, Luzardo started 32 games and held a record of 10-10 with a 3.58 ERA and 208 strikeouts in 178.2 innings pitched.
Although the Marlins received some potentially good future players in return for Luzardo, fans are growing impatient with the team who is still yet to win a division title in franchise history.
The Marlins will try to turn things around in 2025 and it will be interesting to see if any more moves are made by the club this offseason.
