This page will be updated throughout the Marlins’ offseason as new information becomes available.
Feb. 6: Acquired INF Jonah Bride from the A’s for cash
Oakland had designated Bride for assignment four days prior. In his second year bouncing between the Majors and Triple-A, Bride hit .170 with the A’s (40 games) and .305 with Las Vegas (73 games). Bride could provide additional infield depth for the Marlins, as his main position is third base, though he also has experience at first and second.
Jan. 24: Marlins sign 1B Trey Mancini to Minor League deal with an invitation to Spring Training (source)
A seven-year veteran, Mancini hit .234/.299/.336 with 12 doubles and four homers in 79 games for the Cubs in 2023. After being released by Chicago last August, he spent a week with Cincinnati’s Triple-A affiliate. The 31-year-old Mancini, who grew up in Winter Haven, Fla., has appeared at first base and both corner-outfield positions in his career. Miami’s projected first baseman is Josh Bell, and should Mancini make the club, he could serve as Bell’s backup rather than All-Star second baseman Luis Arraez. More >
LHP Trevor Rogers (right lat strain and left biceps strain)
Expected return: 2024
According to president of baseball operations Peter Bendix, Rogers is on track to be ready for Spring Training.
Rogers was rehabbing and playing catch out to 90 feet in late September. Previously, he had been held back from throwing after he was scratched from a rehab start on June 10. According to Rogers, he felt and heard a pop while throwing warmup pitches and couldn’t lift his arm without pain. Rogers said he partially tore his lat, which has to heal naturally. He last pitched in the Majors on April 19, initially landing on the injured list with a left biceps strain. (Last updated: Dec. 5)

Bender, who was placed on the 60-day injured list on March 15, had thrown bullpens and live batting practice in late September. Bender underwent Tommy John surgery on Aug. 30, 2022. (Last updated: Dec. 5)

Alcantara initially felt the discomfort on the 94th and final pitch of his Sept. 3 start against the Nationals and was diagnosed with a right forearm flexor strain. An MRI later revealed a right UCL sprain. He began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Jacksonville on Sept. 21 but shut himself down after experiencing forearm tightness. (Last updated: Oct. 7)
RHP Sixto Sánchez (right shoulder surgery)
Expected return: 2024
When asked whether it might be time to move on from Sánchez, president of baseball operations Peter Bendix said, “I don’t know the answer for that yet.”
Sánchez was continuing his throwing program with Triple-A Jacksonville in late September. He was previously scheduled for a bullpen session on Sept. 15 and another outing (one or two innings, or 25 pitches) with Double-A Pensacola on Sept. 17, but he did not appear in the game.
Sánchez threw one scoreless inning for the Blue Wahoos on Sept. 12, in his first game action since 2021 Spring Training. He previously experienced a setback in June, with what the team called “slight shoulder soreness,” following an extended spring camp game. (Last updated: Dec. 5)
