The Miami Marlins missed the postseason after finishing with a record of 62-100 and coming in last place in the National League East.
Since winning the World Series in 2003, the Marlins have only made the postseason twice and have had three different seasons with at least 100 losses.
The Marlins have struggled immensely in recent years, and they are not helping themselves out any this offseason.
So far this offseason, the only acquisitions include infielder Eric Wagaman and first baseman Matt Mervis while the team lost two notable names in Jesus Luzardo and Jake Burger.
According to Danny Vietti on ‘X,’ the Marlins are the only team in the MLB that has not spent a single penny this offseason.

The free agent class in Major League Baseball this offseason is loaded with talent and opportunities for the Marlins to add some key players to their roster.
Although many options exist, the Marlins have not spent a single penny thus far and have lost a couple of their better players in the process.
With only two playoff appearances since 2003, the Marlins need to make some moves if they want to get the organization back to a competitive level.
It is unclear why the Marlins haven’t spent any money this offseason, and while there is still time for them to do so, there doesn’t appear to be anything promising in the works.
The Marlins have never won a division title since their inaugural season in 1993, and unless something drastically changes, they likely won’t change that in 2025.
