Miami Marlins

Marcell Ozuna was among the Miami Marlins players who declined an invitation to join pitcher Jose Fernandez on a boat the night he was killed in a fatal crash. 

The Miami Marlins prevented third baseman Martin Prado from hitting free agency at season's end by signing him to a contract extension Tuesday. 

Baseball, perhaps more than any other sport, is a game of moments. On Monday night in Miami, Dee Gordon and the Marlins gave us all an incredible one.

Miami Marlins pitcher Jose Fernandez, who died Sunday in a boating accident, will be forever remembered as part of the franchise. 

Miami Marlins pitcher Jose Fernandez died in a boating accident, the team announced Sunday morning, per Manny Navarro of the Miami Herald. 

Sometime soon, Jose Fernandez will be an ex-Miami Marlin.

At the latest, it'll happen in the 2018-19 offseason, when Fernandez is set to hit the open market. The Marlins aren't entirely averse to handing out mega contracts (see: Stanton, Giancarlo), but someone with deeper pockets will almost surely outbid them for Fernandez's services.

When the injury bug ambushed and carried off Giancarlo Stanton in mid-August, the Miami Marlins lost a power source that still hasn't been replaced.

But give it up to Christian Yelich for giving it his best shot.

With Giancarlo Stanton having suffered yet another significant injury, now's a good time to repurpose the catchphrase for Major League Baseball's All-Star Game.

This time, it counts.

Miami Marlins outfielder Giancarlo Stanton suffered a left groin strain during Saturday's game against the Chicago White Sox. He was placed on the disabled list, and it is uncertain when he will return to action.
