If there's one good thing about the Miami Marlins going forward, it's the embarrassment of riches in the rotation. Just imagine what we have next year when everyone's healthy: Sandy Alcantara,Eury Perez, Jesus Luzardo, Max Meyer and Ryan Weathers. There's also Edward Cabrera as well as Roddery Munoz in the mix. Who is missing? The oft-injured Trevor Rogers.
The Miami Marlins will likely trade starting pitcher Trevor Rogers.
It seems so long ago, but there was a point in time when Trevor Rogers looked to be an actual ace alongside Sandy Alcantara. Back in 2021, he delivered a 2.64 ERA/2.55 FIP, with 10.6 K/9 and 3.1 BB/9, in 25 games and 133.0 innings pitched. He was so good that he was an All-Star and finished second in NL Rookie of the Year voting.
It's sad that it ended up being the peak of Rogers' career. He wasn't the same from 2022-2023, missing significant time due to injury, and only being able to pitch in 27 games and 125.0 innings over those two seasons. That's less than what a starting pitcher is expected to deliver in just one season. The production wasn't much better either. He delivered an abysmal 5.26 ERA/4.32 FIP, with 9.0 K/9 and 3.7 BB/9.
This season, Trevor Rogers is sitting on a 4.82 ERA/4.42 FIP, with 7.5 K/9 and 4.1 BB/9 in 18 games and 89.2 innings pitched. He does however have a 3.58 ERA in his last 27.2 innings pitched over the last four weeks. I could see some contending teams having interest in him and seeing some upside with him. The 26 year old is a free agent after the 2026 season and is clearly young enough to potentially take some steps forward.
It would be unrealistic to expect the Miami Marlins to receive a big return for Rogers, but even some "lottery pick" prospects would be nice. Perhaps, we can even dream of a mid-tier prospect or two? Trevor Rogers hasn't been consistent enough or healthy enough to warrant an extension, so a good return might be worth a trade.
Next. You'll be surprised who won't be traded. You'll be surprised who won't be traded. dark
