  2020 -  The biggest surprise of the '20 season, outside of covid, was the Marlins. Jorge Soler(2.22) -  9  
  a 57-105 team turned into a 31-29 playoff team that won a playoff series.  Jesus Sanchez (3.3) -  8  
  Miami overacheived, their runs totals would have indicated a 26-34 record Adam Duvall (1.87) -  4  
  which would have had them fighting to stay out of the cellar.  Generally,     
  when a team significantly overachieves their runs totals, it's because the team Notable Events:  
  has a lights out closer to win the close ones. Miami had that in Brandon Kintzler.  
  Miami's offense was horrific in '19, scoring one run less per game than the  2024 - Miami snuck into the playoffs last year with an 84-78 mark and   
  league average. Miami offense was still worse than the league average, but not were beaten by the Phillies in the first round. They way overachieved their runs   
  nearly as bad in '20.  numbers which indicated they should have finished at 75-87. That usually means  
    a good bullpen that wins the close ones and the Marlins had that.  
     Sixteen owner consortium led by venture capitalist, Bruce Sherman. Miami will contend again because they've got some good young pitchers with live arms.  
   The most notable minority owners are Derek Jeter (who was also the team president)  The hitting was poor last year, scoring 89 runs less than the league average. That's  
   and Michael Jordan (who also owns and runs the NBA Carolina franchise) cellar dwelling stuff so to make the playoffs means the pitchers did real good.  
  Miami ownership has shallow pockets. Winning will be a challenge.    
  The consortium is a breath of fresh air from previous owners like Huizenga, Offense:

  The '20 season was something of a vindication for Derek as the Marlins   
  overachieved, but after they regressed in '21, Derek had had enough. Pitching:  
    Lots of live arms and former 1st round picks. No one has broken out - yet.  
     Another ex-Yankee legend was Derek's manager, Don Mattingly. Don did an Scott is a lights out closer  
   excellent job in LA before coming to Miami. Jeter had stuck with Mattingly in Miami     
  thru thick and thin, but Don was let go after another disappointing season in '22. □ LHP Jesus Luzardo 26, '21 trade with A's, 10-10 3.58

  2023 - Nowhere to go but up. There were holes everywhere. Miami has some    
  decent young arms, mostly obtained in trade deadline deals for whatever    
  star player was on the Miami roster who could help a contender.    
  The Marlins improve fifteen games in the standings to go over .500 at 84-78    
  and make it to the Wild Card where they lose to eventual NL Champs Phillies.    
       
  2023 - Miami, in the hunt, make a couple of trade deadline deals that really     
  help, 3B Jake Burger from the White Sox and 1B Josh Bell from Cleveland
