3 Miami Marlins players that we won't miss after they're gone this season

There are three players that the Miami Marlins will almost certainly part ways with after the season. The Fish are already selling off pieces and there are constant trade rumors floating around. The Trade Deadline will likely lead to more trades, but these three players are probably not even good enough for that. They're almost certainly gone as free agents instead however.

Three players that the Miami Marlins will certainly move on from after the season.

3. C CHRISTIAN BETHANCOURT

Christian Bethancourt has been a complete disaster as The Fish's catcher. Technically he's a backup these days and is a free agent after next season. He's making a $2.05 million salary this season, which is way too high for a backup who is currently worth -0.5 WAR. I see no way where the Miami Malins don't non-tender him after the season. Literally anyone is better than him at this point. I can't even put into words how bad he's been.

Bethancourt is currently batting .132/.179/.170 with no home runs and no RBI, in 24 games and 53 AB. He's so bad I really don't even know what else to say about him. I guess it would be nice to say that he might improve, but he's already 32 years old. He's not going to get better and prior to this season, he was a career .231/.261/.361 hitter from 2013-2023, for the Atlanta Braves, San Diego Padres, Oakland Athletics and the Tampa Bay Rays. He's getting non-tendered after the season.

2. SS TIM ANDERSON

Let's start with SS Tim Anderson, who is currently on the injured list. Anderson batted .318/.347/.474, from 2019 to 2022 for the Chicago White Sox. He was one of the best middle infielders in the game, being worth 12.6 WAR for that time as well. His defense has since completely crashed though, while he was as good as a 1.0 dWAR in 2021, he had a -0.9 dWAR last season. His dWAR is currently a surprisingly decent 0.2 WAR.

Anderson's offense has been abysmal for the last two season. He's batted .236/.276/.281, in 159 games and 615 AB. He's just not hitting for either contact or power, and seems to just no longer having the bat speed that he once had. He was once a .300+ hitter, but now he's lucky to even hit .250 this season.

Tim Anderson is not expensive, making $5 million before he hits free agency after the season. The problem is that he's so bad, that what could The Fish even get for him? Moreso why would any team even want him at this point? If Anderson doesn't improve significantly with the bat, he's almost certainly not getting traded, but will be shown the door as a free agent after the season instead.
