Marlins sign former Mets pitcher in free agency image

TL;DR

  • Tyler Zuber re-signed with the Miami Marlins after electing free agency.
  • Zuber was claimed off waivers by the Marlins from the New York Mets in July.
  • He pitched in nine MLB outings for the Marlins with a high ERA.
  • Zuber has pitched in parts of four MLB seasons for the Royals, Rays, Mets, and Marlins.

The Miami Marlins already added Tyler Zuber once during 2025. Why not again?

Zuber had elected free agency in early November, but this week, he re-signed with the Marlins, with the move reflected on the MLB transactions page.

A right-handed pitcher, Zuber was claimed off waivers by the Marlins from the New York Mets in July.

Zuber had pitched in two innings with the Mets before he was waived.

He made it up to MLB late in the season with the Marlins but had an 11.70 ERA in nine outings.

Zuber was originally a sixth-round pick by the Kansas City Royals in 2017 out of Arkansas State.

He's now 30 years old and has pitched in parts of four MLB seasons.

Zuber made his big league debut in 2020 with the Royals, who he then pitched for again in 2021.

Zuber's absence from major league play spanned a couple of years due to an injury, but he returned for two appearances with the Tampa Bay Rays in 2024.

This resulted in the most recent season, where Zuber's most recent Major League Baseball efforts included two innings with The Mets and ten innings with The Marlins.

He has a career 6.26 ERA with 73 strikeouts in 64.2 innings in the major leagues.

At Triple-A in 2025, Zuber had a 5.45 ERA.

He possesses the capability for strikeouts but also exhibits inconsistency, leading to an excessive number of home runs, making him a challenging prospect.

But the Marlins liked Zuber enough to bring him back, which says something.
