The '''Miami Marlins''' are an American professional [[baseball]] team based in [[Miami]]. The Marlins compete in [[Major League Baseball]] (MLB) as a member club of the [[National League (baseball)|National League]] (NL) [[National League East|East Division]]. The team plays its home games at [[LoanDepot Park]].

The franchise began play as an [[1993 Major League Baseball expansion|expansion team in the 1993 season]] as the '''Florida Marlins'''. The Marlins originally played home games at [[Hard Rock Stadium|Joe Robbie Stadium]], which they shared with the [[Miami Dolphins]] of the [[National Football League]] (NFL). In 2012, the team moved to LoanDepot Park (then known as Marlins Park), their first exclusive home designed for baseball.<ref>{{cite news|last=Frisaro|first=Joe|title=Sun to set on Sun Life Stadium|url=http://m.mlb.com/news/article/25284110|publisher=MLB Advanced Media|date=September 27, 2011|access-date=August 13, 2015|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150724073144/http://m.mlb.com/news/article/25284110/|archive-date=July 24, 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last=Tompkins|first=Wayne|title=Commissioners OK plan to have Marlins change name, spring-training site|url=http://www.miamitodaynews.com/news/070524/story7.shtml|newspaper=[[Miami Today]]|date=May 24, 2007|access-date=July 10, 2018}}</ref> As part of an agreement with park owner, [[Miami-Dade County, Florida|Miami-Dade County]], to use the stadium, the franchise changed its name to the Miami Marlins prior to the 2012 season.<ref>{{cite news|last=Frisaro|first=Joe|title=New name, but deep-rooted tradition in Miami|url=http://m.marlins.mlb.com/news/article/25948494|publisher=MLB Advanced Media|website=MLB.com|date=November 10, 2011|access-date=November 10, 2011|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141204133053/http://m.marlins.mlb.com/news/article/25948494/|archive-date=December 4, 2014}}</ref>

With a record of {{Win–loss record|w=2,382|l=2,792}} ({{winpct|2382|2792}}), the Marlins have the lowest winning percentage and fewest [[Major League Baseball postseason|postseason]] appearances (four) among active MLB franchises.<ref name=BR>{{Cite web |title=Miami Marlins Team History & Encyclopedia |url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/FLA/index.shtml |access-date=November 19, 2025 |website=Baseball-Reference.com |language=en}}</ref> Despite this, the Marlins won the [[World Series]] during their first two playoff runs in {{wsy|1997}} and {{wsy|2003}}.

All four of their playoff appearances came as [[Wild card (sports)|wild card]] teams, making them one of two MLB franchises (along with the [[Colorado Rockies]]) to have never won a division title, as well as the only franchise to have never appeared in back-to-back postseasons. The Marlins were the first team to win the World Series as a wild card.<ref name=":0" />

The franchise's only retired number is [[Jackie Robinson]]'s universally retired #42.{{efn|name=Barger|The Marlins formerly retired number #5 for inaugural Marlins team president [[Carl Barger]], who collapsed and died at the 1992 winter meetings. The Marlins retired number 5 in honor of Barger's favorite player, [[Joe DiMaggio]], but the team chose to issue the number when they moved into their new stadium in 2012 and instead honored Barger with a plaque at their new park. [[Logan Morrison]] was the first to wear #5, for the 2012 season, and several players have since worn the number.}} However, #16 has been out of circulation since the death of [[José Fernández (right-handed pitcher)|José Fernández]] in 2016.

{{Main|History of the Miami Marlins}}
[[Wayne Huizenga]], CEO of [[Blockbuster LLC|Blockbuster Entertainment Corporation]], was awarded an expansion franchise in the [[National League (baseball)|National League]] (NL) for a $95&nbsp;million expansion fee and the team began operations in [[1993 Florida Marlins season|1993]] as the '''Florida Marlins'''. MLB had announced a few months earlier that it intended to add two new teams to the National League. It was a foregone conclusion that one of them would be placed in Florida; the only question was whether Huizenga would beat out competing groups from [[Orlando, Florida|Orlando]] and [[Tampa Bay area|Tampa Bay]]. Orlando waged a very spirited campaign bolstered by its family-oriented tourism industry. Tampa Bay already had a baseball park—the [[Florida Suncoast Dome]] in [[St. Petersburg, Florida|St. Petersburg]], completed in 1990. However, on June 10, {{Baseball year|1991}}, the National League awarded a Miami-based franchise to Huizenga. The franchise adopted the name "Marlins" from previous minor league teams, the [[Miami Marlins (International League)|Miami Marlins]] of the Triple-A 's [[International League]] from 1956 to 1960, and the [[Miami Marlins (1962–70)]] and [[Miami Marlins (1982–88)]] teams that played in the [[Florida State League]].<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=https://www.mlb.com/marlins/history/timeline-1990s|title=Miami Marlins Franchise Timeline 1990s|website=Miami Marlins|access-date=October 15, 2022}}</ref>

The Marlins' first [[Manager (baseball)|manager]] was [[Rene Lachemann]], a former [[catcher]] who had previously managed the [[Seattle Mariners]] and [[Milwaukee Brewers]], and who at the time of his hiring was a third base coach for the [[Oakland Athletics]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=1992-10-22 |title=A's Coach Reportedly to Manage Marlins |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1992-10-22-sp-746-story.html |access-date=2025-10-16 |website=Los Angeles Times |language=en-US}}</ref> The team drafted its initial lineup of players in the [[1992 MLB Expansion Draft]]. The [[1993 Florida Marlins season|Marlins]] defeated the [[1993 Houston Astros season|Houston Astros]] 12–8 in their inaugural spring training game. Jeff Conine hit Florida's first homer before a crowd of 6,696 at the Cocoa Expo Sports Complex. The Marlins won their first game on April 5, {{Baseball year|1993}}, against the [[1993 Los Angeles Dodgers season|Dodgers]]. [[Charlie Hough]] was the starting pitcher for that game. [[Jeff Conine]] went 4-for-4 as well, making him an immediate crowd favorite. By the end of his tenure with Florida, he had earned the nickname "Mr. Marlin." [[Gary Sheffield]] and [[Bryan Harvey]] represented the Marlins as the club's first All-Star Game selections, and Sheffield homered in the Marlins' first All-Star Game at-bat. The team finished the year five games ahead of the last-place [[1993 New York Mets season|New York Mets]] and with an attendance of 3,064,847. In that season, the Marlins traded young set-up reliever [[Trevor Hoffman]] and two minor-league prospects to the [[San Diego Padres]] for third baseman [[Gary Sheffield]]. While Sheffield helped Florida immediately and became an all-star, Hoffman eventually emerged as the best closer in the [[National League (baseball)|National League]]. After the [[1993 Major League Baseball season|1993 season]], Donald A. Smiley was named the second president in club history. The [[1994 Florida Marlins season|Marlins]] finished last (51–64) in their division in the [[1994–95 Major League Baseball strike|strike]]-shortened season of {{mlby|1994}} and fourth (67–76) in {{mlby|1995}}. Lachemann was replaced as manager midway through the {{mlby|1996|disp=seas}} by director of player development [[John Boles, Jr.|John Boles]].

=== 1997: First World Series title ===
Following an 80–82 record in 1996, former Pittsburgh Pirates manager [[Jim Leyland]] was hired to lead the club heading into 1997.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.deseret.com/1996/10/4/19269577/leyland-opts-to-manage-marlins|title=Leyland Opts To Manage Marlins|date=October 4, 1996|website=deseret.com|access-date=October 13, 2022}}</ref>

In 1997, the Marlins finished nine games back of the Division Champion [[Atlanta Braves]], but earned the [[wild card (sports)|wild card]] berth. Veteran additions such as LF [[Moisés Alou]], 3B [[Bobby Bonilla]], and trade-deadline additions [[Darren Daulton]] and [[Jim Eisenreich]] added experience and clutch hits. Talented young stars [[Luis Castillo (second baseman)|Luis Castillo]] (2B) and [[Édgar Rentería]] (SS) comprised one of the best double play combos in the NL. The Marlins swept the [[1997 San Francisco Giants season|San Francisco Giants]] 3–0 in the [[1997 National League Division Series|National League Division Series]], and then went on to beat the [[1997 Atlanta Braves season|Atlanta Braves]] 4–2 in the [[1997 National League Championship Series|National League Championship Series]], overcoming the loss of [[Alex Fernandez (baseball)|Alex Fernandez]] to a torn rotator cuff, and Kevin Brown to a virus. Brown's place was taken in Game 5 by rookie pitcher [[Liván Hernández]], who struck out 15 Braves and outdueled multiple Cy Young Award winner [[Greg Maddux]] to a 2–1 victory. The underdog Marlins went on to face the [[1997 Cleveland Indians season|Cleveland Indians]] in the [[1997 World Series]], and won in seven games. In Game 7, [[Craig Counsell]]'s sacrifice fly in the bottom of the ninth tied the game at 2, then, with the bases loaded and two outs in the bottom of the 11th, Édgar Rentería's soft liner glanced off the glove of Cleveland pitcher [[Charles Nagy]] and into center field to score Counsell and give the Marlins the win.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1997/10/27/sports/97-world-series-marlins-win-world-series.html|title='97 World Series; Marlins Win World Series|last=Chass|first=Murray|date=October 27, 1997|website=[[The New York Times]]|access-date=March 6, 2022}}</ref>

=== 2003: Second World Series victory ===

On May 9, the Marlins called up high-kicking southpaw [[Dontrelle Willis]] from the Double-A [[Carolina Mudcats (1991–2011)|Carolina Mudcats]] and helped carry the injury-plagued Marlins with an 11–2 record in his first 17 starts. [[Miguel Cabrera]] (also from the Mudcats) filled in well, hitting a walk-off home run in his first major league game, against the [[2003 Tampa Bay Devil Rays season|Tampa Bay Devil Rays]] at [[Pro Player Stadium]]. Both Willis and Cabrera would later prove to be essential parts of the Marlins' playoff success. [[Jeff Conine]] – an original Marlin and member of the 1997 World Series team – returned from [[Baltimore Orioles|Baltimore]], Hall of Fame catcher [[Iván Rodríguez]] signed with the Marlins as a free agent<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/mlb/columns/story?columnist=stark_jayson&id=1497285|title=Pudge hits jackpot in signing with Marlins|last=Stark|first=Jason|date=January 22, 2003|website=[[ESPN]]|access-date=October 15, 2022}}</ref> and closer [[Ugueth Urbina]] arrived from the [[Texas Rangers (baseball)|Texas Rangers]]. These acquisitions helped to keep the team in contention, and although they finished ten games behind the Braves, the Marlins captured the NL wild card.

On October 15, the Marlins defeated the [[2003 Chicago Cubs season|Chicago Cubs]] four games to three in the [[2003 National League Championship Series]], coming back from a 3–1 deficit. Game 6 saw the Marlins play a role in one of baseball's most infamous moments, the [[Steve Bartman incident]]. With one out in the eighth inning and the Cubs three runs ahead, Marlins second baseman Luis Castillo hit a pop foul a row into the stands along the third baseline. Cubs fan Steve Bartman reached for the ball, preventing Cubs left fielder Moisés Alou from making the out and setting off an eight-run Marlins rally. The incident with Bartman and a come-from-behind win in [[Wrigley Field]] in Game 7 helped the Marlins capture their second NL pennant, keeping the "[[Curse of the Billy Goat]]" alive and well.

In the [[2003 World Series]], the Marlins defeated the heavily favored [[2003 New York Yankees season|New York Yankees]] in six games, winning the sixth game in [[Yankee Stadium (1923)|Yankee Stadium]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2003/10/26/sports/baseball/marlins-win-world-series.html|title=Marlins win World Series|date=October 26, 2003|website=[[The New York Times]]|access-date=January 5, 2023}}</ref> Shortstop [[Álex González (shortstop, born 1977)|Álex González]] helped the Marlins win Game 4 of the series with a walk-off home run in extra innings. [[Josh Beckett]] was named the Most Valuable Player for the series after twirling a five-hit complete-game shutout in Game 6.

=== 2012–present ===
In 2012, the team moved from the football-oriented [[Hard Rock Stadium|Sun Life Stadium]] (located in [[Miami Gardens, Florida|Miami Gardens]]) to [[Marlins Park]] in downtown [[Miami]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://bleacherreport.com/articles/777336-florida-marlins-to-be-renamed-miami-marlins-next-season|title=Florida Marlins to Be Renamed Miami Marlins Next Season|last=Knapel|first=Robert|date=July 27, 2011|publisher=[[Bleacher Report]]|access-date=November 12, 2018}}</ref> As a condition of the move, the team was renamed the '''Miami Marlins''', and adopted a new logo and colors. On November 16, 2017, [[Giancarlo Stanton]] won the [[National League (baseball)|National League]] [[Major League Baseball Most Valuable Player Award|MVP]], becoming the first Marlin to win the award.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.mlb.com/news/marlins-giancarlo-stanton-wins-nl-mvp-award-c262051396|title=Stanton fishes out close vote, wins NL MVP|last=Frisaro|first=Joe|date=November 16, 2017|website=[[MLB.com]]|publisher=[[MLB Advanced Media]]|access-date=October 11, 2022}}</ref>

==Uniform history==
{{Unsourced section|date=November 2025}}
===1993–2002===
The Florida Marlins debuted wearing three different uniforms. The primary and alternate home uniforms shared the same design: "Marlins" (with an underline after the letter "S") in teal with black trim and letters were rendered in black with teal trim, along with teal pinstripes. The alternate home uniforms were sleeveless, and teal undershirts were added to the ensemble. The road uniforms featured "Florida" (with the marlin wrapped around the letter "F") in teal with black trim and letters were rendered in black with teal trim. The primary logo patch was placed on the left sleeve. The Marlins wore three different cap designs, all featuring the "F" insignia in front of a leaping marlin. The all-teal home cap and the black-brimmed teal road cap were initially the primary headwear the team used, with the all-black cap as the alternate.

By the late 1990s, teal was gradually de-emphasized and the Marlins wore black caps and undershirts for the remainder of the uniform's run.

===2003–2011===
The Marlins introduced new uniforms before its second World Series-winning season. On the home uniforms, teal was relegated to accent color status with black the primary lettering and pinstripe color. Silver accents were also added to the letters. A sleeved alternate pinstriped home uniform replaced the original sleeveless version, sharing the same design as the primary home uniform except with the "F" logo on the left chest. The "F" logo also took its place on the left sleeve in place of the primary logo. Road uniforms again featured "Florida" but shared the same script look and color scheme as the home uniform (with an underline after the letter "A"). White accents were added to the letters. In addition, the Marlins began wearing a black alternate uniform, featuring the same "Marlins" script but in silver with teal, black and white accents. Both alternate uniforms lacked the front chest numbers.

In 2010, the Marlins changed its road uniform design, replacing "Florida" with "Marlins". The sleeve logo patches were also removed.

===2012–2018===
Rebranding as the Miami Marlins, the team introduced a new color scheme with orange, black and blue. The "M" insignia is white with orange, yellow and sky blue accents, along with a stylized abstract marlin on top. This logo served as a cap logo as well as a patch on the left sleeve. The primary home, road and black alternate uniforms all feature "Miami" in front, with the first "M" shaped similarly to the cap and sleeve logos. The home and road uniform feature black letters with silver trim, along with orange drop shadows on the numbers, while the alternate black uniform feature white letters with silver trim and orange numbers with silver trim and black drop shadows. The orange alternate uniform featured the team name in white with sky blue accents; however the abstract marlin was located atop the letter "I". Letters were black with silver trim, while sky blue drop shadows were featured on the numbers. The Marlins primarily wore all-black caps, though for a brief period they wore alternate all-orange caps.

===2019–present===
The Marlins released updated logos and color schemes, replacing orange and silver with bright Caliente red, Miami blue and slate grey. Home and road uniforms contain 'Miami" and letters in black with red drop shadows and blue accents, while the black alternate uniform contain "Marlins" and letters in black with red drop shadows and blue accents. The cap logo, used on the all-black cap, is a stylized "M" with a more realistic marlin on top. The Marlin logo also appears on the left sleeve.

In 2021, the Marlins unveiled a [[City Connect]] uniform. The primarily red uniform with Miami blue trim paid homage to the [[Havana Sugar Kings|Cuban Sugar Kings]].

In 2024, the Marlins updated their black alternate uniform, changing the letters to white in order to improve visibility. They also introduced a new Miami blue alternate uniform, featuring the black "Marlins" lettering with white trim and red drop shadows. This was originally their Spring Training uniform, albeit with the "M" logo on the left chest.

The Marlins released a second City Connect uniform in 2025. The primarily black uniform with teal and pink accents paid homage to the vibrant Miami electric glow skyline and the original Florida Marlins look.

==Rivalry==
===Citrus Series===
{{main|Marlins–Rays rivalry}}
The [[Tampa Bay Rays|Rays]] also have a geographical, [[interleague play|interleague]] rivalry with the Miami Marlins. Tampa Bay currently leads the series, 81–60.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://mcubed.net/mlb/mia/tb.shtml|title=mcubed.net : MLB : Series records : Miami Marlins against Tampa Bay Rays|access-date=September 30, 2014}}</ref>

==World Series championships==
{{Unsourced section|date=November 2025}}
The Marlins won the World Series in [[1997 Florida Marlins season|1997]] and [[2003 Florida Marlins season|2003]], but both titles were followed by controversial periods where the team sold off all the high-priced players and rebuilt. Between 2003 and 2019, the team's two World Series runs also marked their sole postseason appearances. Their three playoff qualifications and seven winning seasons are the fewest among MLB franchises.

Despite never winning a division title, the Florida Marlins is the only team to make the playoffs and win a World Series in its first two winning seasons.

From 1993 until 2011, the Marlins had retired the number 5 in honor of [[Carl Barger]], the first president of the Florida Marlins, who had died prior to the team's inaugural season. Barger's favorite player was [[Joe DiMaggio]], thus the selection of number 5. With the move to [[LoanDepot Park]], the team opted to honor Barger with a plaque instead, and opened number 5 to circulation. [[Logan Morrison]], a Kansas City native and fan of [[Kansas City Royals|Royals]] Hall-of-Famer [[George Brett]] (who wore that number with the Royals), became the first Marlins player to wear the number.<ref name=morrison5>{{cite news|last=Frisaro|first=Joe|title=Miami Marlins unretire uniform No. 5 for Morrison|url=http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20120211&content_id=26661460|publisher=MLB Advanced Media|website=MLB.com|date=February 11, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130505110835/http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20120211&content_id=26661460|archive-date=May 5, 2013|access-date=July 10, 2018|url-status=dead}}</ref> As of 2024, the Marlins are the only franchise with no retired numbers for former players, and while eight former players are in the Hall of Fame, none wear a Marlins cap on their plaque or have the Marlins listed as their primary team.<ref>{{cite news|last=Frisaro|first=Joe|title=Marlins' all-time retired numbers|url=https://www.mlb.com/marlins/news/miami-marlins-retired-numbers-c298153262|publisher=[[MLB Advanced Media]]|website=Marlins.com|date=December 1, 2021|access-date=July 3, 2024}}</ref>

The Marlins' [[flagship]] [[radio station]] from their inception in 1993 through 2007 was [[WQAM]] 560&nbsp;AM. Although the Marlins had plans to leave WQAM after 2006, they remained with WQAM for the 2007 season. On October 11, 2007, the Marlins announced an agreement with [[WAXY (AM)|WAXY]] 790&nbsp;AM to broadcast all games for the 2008 season. Longtime [[Expo 67|Montreal Expo]] and current Marlins play-by-play radio announcer [[Dave Van Horne]] won the Hall of Fame's [[Ford C.

In 1989, ''[[Back to the Future Part II]]'' had a reference to the [[2015 Chicago Cubs season|Chicago Cubs]] defeating a baseball team from [[Miami]] in the [[2015 World Series]], ending the [[List of Major League Baseball franchise postseason droughts#Longest current World Series championship drought|longest championship drought]] in all four of the major [[Major professional sports leagues in the United States and Canada|North American professional sports leagues]].<ref>{{cite news|last1=Oz|first1=Mike|title=Reminder: The Cubs won the 2015 World Series in 'Back to the Future 2'|url=https://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/mlb-big-league-stew/reminder--the-cubs-won-the-2015-world-series-in--back-to-the-future-2-085935047.html|work=[[Yahoo! Sports]]|date=December 10, 2014|access-date=August 5, 2015}}</ref> In actuality, the Cubs would end up getting swept in four games by the [[2015 New York Mets season|New York Mets]] in the [[2015 NLCS|NLCS]], the Marlins failed to make the postseason, and the [[2015 World Series]] was between the [[2015 Kansas City Royals season|Kansas City Royals]] and the [[2015 New York Mets season|New York Mets]], with the Royals winning in five games. Also, both the Cubs and Marlins are part of the [[National League (baseball)|National League]], rendering a [[World Series]] matchup between the two teams impossible.

The Marlins were the first team in [[Major League Baseball]] to have a dance/cheer team. Debuting in 2003, the ''"Marlins Mermaids"'' influenced other MLB teams to develop their own cheer/dance squads.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2003/10/18/us/for-marlins-bandwagon-fills-up-fast.html|title=For Marlins, Bandwagon Fills Up Fast|last=Goodnough|first=Alex|newspaper=The New York Times|date=October 18, 2003|accessdate=June 1, 2024}}</ref> In 2008, the Florida Marlins debuted ''"The Marlins Manatees''", Major League Baseball's first all-male dance/energy squad, to star alongside the Mermaids.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/30/arts/dance/30laro.html|title=The Manatees - Baseball - Dance|last=Rocco|first=Claudia La|date=March 30, 2008|work=The New York Times|access-date=June 28, 2019|language=en-US|issn=0362-4331}}</ref> As of 2012, the Marlins have abandoned the "Mermaids" and "Manatees" for in-game entertainment instead using an "energy squad", a co-ed group of dancers.<ref>{{cite news|last=McCorquodale|first=Amanda|title=Marlins Mermaids Replaced By 'Energy Team'?|url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/01/13/marlins-mermaids-energy_n_1204961.html|website=[[HuffPost]]|date=January 13, 2012|access-date=July 10, 2018}}</ref> In 2019, the Marlins brought back the Mermaids for the first time since 2012.

The Marlins have had many official anthems over the years, performed by such artists as [[Pitbull (rapper)|Pitbull]], [[DJ Khaled]], [[Poo Bear]] and [[Creed (band)|Creed]] frontman [[Scott Stapp]]. Stapp penned their 2010 anthem Marlins Will Soar.<ref>{{cite news|last=Cooke|first=Shawn|title="Marlins Will Soar" Is The Only Anthem The Miami Marlins Will Ever Need, Or Deserve|url=https://deadspin.com/marlins-will-soar-is-the-only-anthem-the-miami-marlin-1824145701|website=Deadspin|date=March 29, 2018|access-date=October 22, 2020}}</ref>

On July 16, 2022, the Marlins became the second NL team to form a cheering section for fans when it opened "Sandy's Beach" at Section 22 of LoanDepot Park for supporters of team starter Sandy Alcantara.<ref>{{cite web | last=Rosa | first=Francisco | title='Sandy's Beach' strengthens Alcántara's connection with Marlins' fan base | website=Sun Sentinel | date=2022-07-16 | url=https://www.sun-sentinel.com/2022/07/16/sandys-beach-strengthens-alcntaras-connection-with-marlins-fan-base/ | access-date=2025-06-02}}</ref> Fans assigned to this section, located near the 3rd base line, wear beach related clothing in a nod to the city's famous beaches whenever Sandy pitches on select game days.

==Home attendance==
Other than their first few years as a franchise in the 1990s, the Marlins have consistently ranked as one of lowest attendance teams in the league, coming in last place (30th) several of the past 20 years. Even when [[LoanDepot Park]] was completed for the 2012 season, attendance was only average for the first year, dropping down to second to last by 2013.
