It was a tale of two seasons for Jakob Marsee in 2026. The Miami Marlins center fielder was awful at the plate through much of the first half, but finished up the year looking like a well-rounded rising star. Marsee joins AJ Ramos and Kevin Barral on the show to reflect on what lessons he learned about himself during the process, how he's feeling two-plus weeks removed from undergoing internal brace surgery on his elbow, what he admires about the soon-to-be World Series champion Milwaukee Brewers and much more.

Miami Marlins president of baseball operations Peter Bendix is "always having conversations," but why even consider splitting up his club's strong middle infield? AJ Ramos, Kevin Barral, Isaac Azout and Ely Sussman discuss Barry Jackson's Miami Herald report about Otto Lopez and Xavier Edwards, plus Javier Sanoja's chances of winning the National League Gold Glove at third base.

One of the reasons why the Miami Marlins couldn't quite call themselves "contenders" in 2026 was their offense was not explosive enough, especially against left-handed pitching. With MLB free agency beginning shortly, AJ Ramos, Kevin Barral and Isaac Azout take turns picking potential reinforcements for Miami's lineup. After signing Christopher Morel from last winter's free agent class, there's nowhere to go but up!

One of the reasons why the Miami Marlins couldn't quite call themselves "contenders" in 2026 was their pitching staff was too thin. With MLB free agency beginning shortly, AJ Ramos, Kevin Barral, Isaac Azout and Ely Sussman take turns picking potential reinforcements for Miami's starting rotation and bullpen. After signing Pete Fairbanks, Chris Paddack and John King from last winter's free agent class, there's nowhere to go but up!

Kevin Barral, Isaac Azout and Ely Sussman discuss all angles of the shake-up and how it could impact the vibe and quality of team broadcasts moving forward.

The Miami Marlins do not need to overhaul their roster this offseason, but at the very least, notable role players could be on their way out. After catching up on the ongoing MLB postseason, AJ Ramos, Isaac Azout and Ely Sussman take turns selecting members of the 2026 team who are candidates to be traded or simply released in favor of better, more complementary pieces.
