The Miami Marlins are bolstering their 2026 roster with a significant trade for veteran closer Pete Fairbanks from the Tampa Bay Rays, while also nurturing homegrown talent like seventeen-year-old shortstop Andrew Salas. Salas, ranked sixth in the Marlins prospects list, is a switch-hitter with a sharp baseball IQ, having hit .186 with a .319 OBP in 104 games last season. Columnists predict 2026 as his breakout year, as the Marlins aim to surprise with a blend of experience and youth.
