-Jake Burger (217 PA, 130 OPS+, 9 HR, 28 RBI) and Josh Bell (224 PA, 119 OPS+, 11 HR, 26 RBI) both made an impact offensively after they were acquired at the trade deadline, but more needs to be done to build a reliable offensive attack if the Marlins want to take the next step forward following a surprise wild-card berth.
-Cutting their losses and releasing Avisaíl García would open up the designated hitter spot for Justin Turner, who was linked to the team last offseason before he signed with the Boston Red Sox. A multi-year deal to add Teoscar Hernandez and a buy-low roll of the dice on Tim Anderson gives the lineup a ton of offensive upside if everything clicks.
