The Miami Marlins are undergoing a significant overhaul by trading key players like Luis Arráez. The team's struggles and lack of success in recent years have led to this rebuilding phase. The San Diego Padres have acquired Arráez, with high expectations for his impact on their lineup.
Rival execs say the Marlins hadn’t been actively shopping Arraez, and they assume this was a case of the Padres targeting the player w a big push. And the Marlins realizing there was not going to be broad interest in Arraez later this summer.

The Marlins are not a serious franchise https://t.co/WVnBW0ZFk9
The reason the Marlins are having to do a volume trade is because their farm system is *dire*. We ranked them 28/30 before the season and that’s with Meyer eligible due to the weird service loophole. Their only age appropriate 101 prospect is a prep pitcher who imploded in 2024
The Marlins have been a team for 31 years and they've had like six or eight fire sales.
The Marlins had to do something, with three wins against teams with winning records and three wins against the Rockies. Since Bruce Sherman bought the team and turned personnel over to the computer kids Gary Dem bo brought from New York, in 6 drafts, no players from the 1st 5…
“That guy is probably the closest to Tony Gwynn as there is right now. I’m looking forward to seeing him in our lineup.” Padres have big night, rout D-backs after acquiring batting champ Luis Arráez https://t.co/WbckkTgmur
Marlins are sad https://t.co/kMBiC02Cza
The Padres have been trying to get Luis Arraez for a while. I guess he’ll DH? Jacob Marsee will be why it hurts if it does. Acceptable risk imo.
Here’s why the Marlins are blowing it up https://t.co/xHcEY8W0me
The Marlins are why I'll never be mad at the Heat for just being mediocre for a couple years. Heat fans think a play-in game is bad? Y'all haven't seen purgatory till you're trying to get hyped to watch Jorge Cantu 82x a year.
Since the arrival of Peter Bendix, the #Marlins never approached Luis Arráez to discuss a contract extension. Both parties went to arbitration. The team got off to a really bad start. This was expected, but maybe not this early. The rebuild is on.
