The division reports debuted last year. The goal of this article series is to provide a quick overview of all dynasty-relevant information from each division. Each team has multiple minor league levels, each containing plenty of impactful prospects which can feel impossible to keep up with. This article series, which will be updated once per month, will help dynasty managers stay up-to-date on performances, injuries, promotions, and more. New this season is the inclusion of tiers in the rankings. Next to their rank, each prospect is assigned a tier. The tier range is 1-5.
- Tier 1: A potential difference-making dynasty prospect. Somebody who would rank in the top-20ish prospects for dynasty baseball
- Tier 2: A still very good dynasty prospect who holds plenty of value. This prospect would typically rank in the 21-75 range
- Tier 3: A mid-tier prospect who could be valuable but has questions and concerns present in his profile ranking in the 76-150 range
- Tier 4: A prospect who is worth knowing, but is reserved for deeper leagues. This prospect would rank 151-250
- Tier 5: The rest of the prospects fall into Tier 5
The Marlins had a top-five pick in the draft. They also appeared to be sellers at the deadline, poised to add plenty of talent. While they traded away Jesus Sanchez, the team did not sell off many players to boost their farm system. They did, however, add Aiva Arquette with the fifth overall pick, giving them another tier-three prospect. Keep reading to see the updated list of Marlins’ top prospects for the month of August.
Notable Prospect Performances:
- Diwarys Encarnacion has been one of the many standouts from the DSL this season. Encarnacion played in the DSL last season but hit just .227 with one homer. The results have been much more encouraging this go around, hitting .291 with seven homers and 20 stolen bases. He is still just 19 years old and has the power and speed upside that should grab the attention of dynasty managers.
- Jacob Berry seems like a forgotten prospect. Berry has been a major disappointment since being selected sixth overall back in 2022. However, Berry is very quietly putting up very strong numbers in Triple-A. Since June 27, Berry is slashing .337/.408/.539 with a 10% walk rate and a strikeout rate below 13%. Where Berry fits defensively is still up in the air, but he has the draft pedigree to make his recent success intriguing.
- Carter Johnson has continued to struggle in Low-A. The team’s second round pick from 2024 has yet to figure things out at the professional level. He has the size and athleticism that make his projection enticing, but the strikeouts continue to be an issue. He is batting just .164 since the start of July.
Notable Promotions and News:
- Troy Johnston was finally called up for his long-awaited Major League debut. Johnston has been on the verge of a promotion, it feels like for years now, and finally got the call this past month. Now 28, Johnston has an intriguing blend of power and speed for a first baseman, but does not profile as more than a platoon bat.
- Aiva Arquette is the headline pick from this year’s draft. He was the team’s first round pick and stands tall at 6’5″. He has plus power and an extremely high ceiling for fantasy baseball. Drew Faurot is another shortstop selected by Miami in the fourth round out of FSU. He also has a big projectible 6’3″ frame and saw a significant power uptick in his final collegiate season. He is a FYPD sleeper.
- Noble Meyer is back on the mound. Meyer was forced to miss about a month with an undisclosed injury but returned to the mound on July 12. He has made three starts since being activated and is yet to allow an earned run. After a slow start to the season, Meyer has settled in nicely and remains a tier-three prospect.
- Jakob Marsee was called up to the Major Leagues. The trade of Jesus Sanchez opened up a spot on the Major League roster and Marsee will take it. Marsee is one of the more underrated dynasty assets in baseball. He has elite speed, a solid hit tool, and is up to 14 homers on the season. He has 10/50 upside over a full season.
