Marlins Farm System: Stuck in Tier Six
1 Feb
Summary
- Marlins' farm system ranked sixth tier out of eight.
- Owen Caissie acquired in offseason trade, strong Triple-A stats.
- Aiva Arquette drafted seventh overall, top college player.
The Miami Marlins' farm system is currently positioned in tier six of eight, according to recent rankings. This places them in the middle-to-lower echelon, largely due to a perceived lack of significant prospect development stories within the organization. Despite this overall assessment, the Marlins do possess notable prospects expected to impact the team soon.
This past offseason, the Marlins significantly bolstered their prospect pool by acquiring outfielder Owen Caissie from the Chicago Cubs. In 99 games in Triple-A during the 2025 season, Caissie demonstrated considerable offensive prowess, slashing .286/.386/.551 with a .937 OPS, 22 home runs, and 55 RBIs. He also made 12 appearances in the major leagues.
Another key figure for the Marlins' future is infielder Aiva Arquette, whom they selected seventh overall in the 2025 MLB draft. Arquette, considered by some as the premier college position player in that draft class, played 27 games in the minors last year, batting .242 with a .673 OPS. While the farm system isn't in dire straits, these emerging talents highlight potential for future growth.
