The Miami Marlins had two young sluggers come into their own in 2025 in Kyle Stowers and Jakob Marsee. While it shows they have a promising future, having a mentor to join them in the heart of the order could speed up their growth.
Fansided’s Christopher Kline believes the same, as he predicts the Marlins will sign two-time All-Star and slugging veteran Eugenio Suarez.

“The Miami Marlins never really made their "big" small-market splash on the level of Brandon Lowe in Pittsburgh or Murakami in Chicago. But there was reason to believe coming into the winter that Miami might spend a little bit to augment last season's 79-win team. Suárez is a deeply flawed player, but he finished the 2025 campaign with 49 home runs. That alone carries significant value. Miami unearthed a couple young boppers last season in Kyle Stowers and Jakob Marsee. The top of that lineup features a compelling blend of raw pop and contact-savvy bats, but Miami needs to flesh out its depth chart. Planting Suárez at third base, while detrimental on defense, gives Miami a dramatic influx of power in the heart of the order,” Kline wrote.
Suarez finished the 2025 season slashing.228/.298/.526/.824 with 28 doubles, 49 home runs, and 118 RBI in 159 games. He would bring a ton of power to the heart of Miami’s order, and be a great example to learn from for Stowers and Marsee when it comes to putting baseballs out of the park.
He’d also be cheap, which works well for a mid-market team like the Marlins. He’s only projected to receive a two-year, $29 million deal, and with his market still being quiet going into the end of the offseason, the Marlins could maybe even get him for less.
Hopefully, the Marlins see the opportunity in getting Suarez, and get in contact with his camp as soon as they can.
