Don Mattingly‘s resume could be anyone’s envy in baseball. He was the New York Yankees’ home boy during his playing career. He managed and coached top teams like the Yankees, Los Angeles Dodgers, Miami Marlins, and Toronto Blue Jays. However, one World Series ring is what is still missing in his cabinet, and the Blue […]

Well, that was disappointing. The Diamondbacks followed up holding their own against the Dodgers with getting the tar beat out of them by the struggling, but offensively proficient, Washington Nationals. Thanks more to the other teams around them also struggling than their own efforts, they are still in a playoff position. Worst case scenario is […]
Paul Tenorio’s new book tells the story of how Inter Miami’s signing of Leo Messi charted a new course for MLS.
The New York Yankees have reached the second week of June right where a contender wants to be, firmly in the American League East race and good enough to justify an aggressive trade-deadline swing. At 38-26, New York is even with the Tampa Bay Rays in the games-back column, trailing only by percentage points atop […]

The Nationals came back nicely after getting swept by the Miami Marlins, taking 2 of 3 from the Arizona Diamondbacks in a weekend set. They still find themselves sitting at .500 with an even 33-33 record, looking to get back over the hump to begin the week. Pitching and offense were firing on all cylinders […]
Today, the Marlins played a sort of game that felt familiar. Their pitching, from starter to bullpen, was outstanding. Their defense possibly robbed Cedric Mullins of a home run and was sharp across the board. They ran the bases well, making just one mistake (Heriberto Hernandez was thrown out at second trying to stretch a […]
It feels like the righty is finally destined for the trade block after years of speculation. But which contender fits the best?
For ‘tis the sport of baseball to have the engineer of infield hits and great defense hoist with his own petard. The Marlins stole the Rays’ playbook and beat them at their own game with infield hits, excellent defense mixed around some timely extra base hits while employing a Jonny Bullpen plan to stifle the […]
Maybe the Miami Marlins truly are the kryptonite for this offense. After that Marlins series, fans were starting to get concerned that this was the start of an offensive slide for the Nats. However, those concerns were quickly put to bed last night with the Nats putting up 14 runs on the Diamondbacks. Back at […]
The Rays are in Miami to open their annual Citrus Series against the Marlins. Drew Rasmussen is on the bump against Marlins starter Ryan Gusto. Junior Caminero got things going in the top of the first with a one-out double to right, and Jonathan Aranda drew a walk to put two runners on for Yandy […]
The sweep at the hands of the Marlins was demoralizing, but the Nats need to bounce back. They got a day off to re-set, and now they start the first west coast trip of the series. The Nats will square off against a Diamondbacks team that sneakily is in second place in the NL West. […]
Marlins top pitching prospect Thomas White has been diagnosed with a capsular sprain in his throwing shoulder, the team announced (relayed by Isaac Azout of Fish On First). It’s a 3-4 month recovery timeline that’ll threaten the remainder of the 2026 season. Azout also notes that infielder Maximo Acosta underwent surgery last month to address a UCL […]
Welcome to Today Your Love, Tomorrow the World Series, the new/old favorite from Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore. The Mets swept the Marlins and took one of three from the Mariners, but not all wins and losses are created equal. Are they righting the ship? Is it already too late? What are they thinking with […]
Demetrius Andrade is finally getting back in the ring soon in 2026 in his long awaited comeback for the former world champion. Andrade was thought to be one of the most avoided and underestimated boxers previously in all of boxing. A very slick boxer with great range, jab and technical ability, although some found him […]

Depending on how the Miami Marlins handle things leading up to the trade deadline, there's a chance that Giancarlo Stanton could end up being their highest-paid player this season despite having not played for the team since October 2017.
The Cardinals returned Rule 5 draftee Matt Pushard to the Marlins, relays Jeff Jones of The Belleville News-Democrat. St. Louis designated the righty for assignment over the weekend. Pushard didn’t get much of an opportunity to establish himself. He landed on the injured list almost immediately due to patellar tendinitis in his right knee. That kept […]
A broadcasting dispute is reportedly forcing a marquee Duke–Michigan college basketball game scheduled for the fall to be moved from Madison Square Garden to LoanDepot Park, the home of the Miami Marlins. In April, Amazon Prime Video announced an agreement with Duke to air three neutral-site games featuring the school: against UConn on Nov. 25,…
No team scored less often in 2025 than the Pirates. Of course, that wasn’t anything new. Since Pittsburgh’s playoff drought began in 2016, only one team, the Marlins, has scored fewer runs. The 2016 season was the last time the Bucs ranked among the top half of NL teams in scoring, while 2018 was the […]
Well that was certainly a gut punch. The Nats just got swept at home by a Marlins team that had lost five straight entering the series. For whatever reason, the Fish just seem to have our number. That is especially true of Marlins pitchers who have contained this offense better than any other team. In […]
The first two games of this series have been a real bummer, but the Nats have a chance to salvage things this afternoon. They will look to avoid a sweep at the hands of a Marlins team that has given them all sorts of trouble. Hopefully the bats can wake up today. Blake Butera is […]
This season the Nats have matched up well with high priced teams like the Braves, Padres and Mets. However, the scrappy Marlins have given them all sorts of issues. They have lost four straight games against the fish, and these games follow familiar patterns. The Marlins are able to quiet the Nats bats, and then […]
If there's one team that can pick it on defense, it's the Chicago Cubs. But the Cubbies are also a team with a need for some starting pitching to let those fielders go do their jobs. Shota Imanaga and Jameson Taillon are flyball pitchers, as is Matthew Boyd (currently on the IL). So as the team looks to fortify its rotation, there are two 'dream' fits for the Cubs to look to on the trade market, as noted by Christopher Kline of Fansided . Sandy Alcantara, Miami Marlins The former Cy Youn...
The feisty fish have given the Nats problems this year, and last night was no different. The Nationals bullpen was unable to hold on to their lead, and they lost 7-3. Tonight, they will try and even the series. They have been a series winning machine lately, so the Nats will not want to drop […]
The second half of May saw the surging Mets come to a screeching halt, suffering three consecutive series losses to the Nationals, Marlins, and Reds before salvaging the month with a sweep of the Marlins at home to build some momentum as the calendar turned to June. Perhaps most importantly, the offense began to show […]
The Nats enter June riding high with a record of 31-29. However, now is when the real test starts. June was when things really unraveled for the Nats last year. I would like to think the foundation is stronger this year, but we need to see things play out some more. This series against the […]
