There are three players who simply shouldn’t be on the Miami Marlins next season. They aren’t helping the team and simply aren’t producing enough to be given a chance to thst next season. Two players specifically fit that description and one should simply be traded to maximize on his value. Let’s take a look at who these players are….

There are three players that shouldn’t be part of the Miami Marlins next season.

3. RF AVISAIL GARCIA

Avisail Garcia

OK let’s face it, Kim Ng isn’t going to fix her mistake and find a bad contract swap for Avisail Garcia, but she should. Avi has been a complete bust on the Miami Marlins and it’s hard to picture a scenario where he’s actually productive. He’s currently batting .230/.267/.316 and looks a lot as if he just doesn’t care all that much about doing better.

The fact that Kim Ng thought that signing Avisail Garcia was somehow a smart move, is just more evidence of her ineptitude as a general manager. Avisail Garcia has -1.0 WAR. -1.0 WAR. He literally is costing the Miami Marlins wins.

I spent a good deal of time thinking of trade ideas with him, and it all comes down to doing a bad contract swap. Kim Ng needs to do everything possible to make one happen. There’s just no reason to believe that a streaky hitter such as Avisail Garcia, is somehow going to start hitting in year two of his three year deal. Yes, Ng decided that a three year deal for a career of inconsistency and mostly Poot production was a good idea.

The Miami Marlins would be better off playing a Marlin Mermaid or a merchandise stand manager at the position, they’ll probably get more hits than Avisail. He easily has the worst contract on the team and needs to be gotten rid off as soon as possible. It really is time for some players to not be able to rip off their teams like this.
