Marlins Outright Five Players
MLB Trade Rumors • • sports
Key Points:
- The Miami Marlins have outrighted five players—catchers Logan Driscoll and Brian Navarreto, and right-handed pitchers Tyler Zuber, Wikelman González, and Zach Brzykcy—off their 40-man roster, with all clearing waivers and likely heading to minor league free agency.
- Driscoll and Navarreto had minimal major league impact this season, with Driscoll not appearing in the majors and Navarreto hitting just .135 in 61 plate appearances; both primarily served as organizational depth.
- Tyler Zuber, the most experienced major leaguer among the group, struggled this season with a 5.67 ERA in 39 2/3 innings and is expected to miss much or all of 2027 due to an upcoming elbow surgery.
- Zach Brzykcy and Wikelman González showed promise in the minors but have struggled with high ERAs and control issues, with González notably posting a 6.05 ERA and a high walk rate in Triple-A this year.
- The moves reflect the Marlins' offseason roster adjustments, removing players with limited major league success and health concerns to make room for future roster construction.
