Miami Marlins Earn Reasonable MLB Midseason Grade

No one expected the Miami Marlins to be a playoff team or contend to win the National League East heading into the 2025 MLB season, and through the first half of the year, they haven't been either of those things.

Miami's season to date has gone just about as expected, which is reflected in CBS Sports' Dayn Perry's midseason grade for the Marlins.

The analyst gave the Marlins a "C-" for their performance so far this year.

"Not much to say. The Marlins were figured to be bad, and, hey, they are bad. They've got a reasonable shot at a fourth-place finish in the NL East, which would be an achievement of sorts," wrote Perry.

"It's a bit pathetic to say so, but much hinges on whether Sandy Alcantara can re-establish some value before he's (very likely) moved leading up to the July 31 trade deadline. His overall numbers remain grim, but he's been trending in the right direction more recently."
