Fish On First: A Miami Marlins podcast

The Miami Marlins will have fewer on-air contributors to their television broadcasts next season. As Fish On First reported on Friday, Craig Minervini, Jeff Nelson and Rod Allen were trimmed from the Marlins.TV roster, as was play-by-by announcer Kyle Sielaff, who is expected to be replaced by Jack McMullen. 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.

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.
