A.J. Ramos was a late round selection (21^st) in 2009, and the Texan Pitcher was a Miami Marlin for the first five years and change of his career.

Ramos was never a starter, and he began his MLB career in middle relief, which included a 7-0 season in 2014 where he had a 2.11 ERA over 68 Games.  He did so well that year that the Marlins promoted him to be their closer, and he shut the door with 32 Saves in 2015 and 40 Saves in 2016.  Ramos was especially good that year, going to the All-Star Game and posting career-highs in Saves.  

The Marlins did what they always did during the 2017 Season and traded him when his contact would eventually become due.  Ramos would finish 175 Games for Miami and Save 92.

Cody Ross arrived in Florida in early 2006 as a nomadic outfielder searching for a permanent home after brief stops in Detroit, Los Angeles, and Cincinnati. The Marlins purchased his contract in May of that year, and he quickly proved he belonged in the big leagues.

After appearing in 157 games across 2006 and 2007, Ross demonstrated a knack for finding the gaps and clearing the fences. He became a fixture in the lineup in 2008, belting 22 home runs with a .260 average. He followed that with an even more productive 2009, recording a career-high 24 home runs and 90 RBIs while batting .270.

During the Marlins' cost-cutting, he was placed on waivers and was claimed by the San Francisco Giants.  While the Marlins moved on from his salary, Ross went on to become a national hero in the Bay Area, earning NLCS MVP honors and a World Series ring.  

As a Marlin, Ross had 80 Home Runs with 503 Hits. 

Carl Pavano arrived in Florida during the 2002 season after a trade with the Expos, a pitcher whose career was later defined by health struggles in New York but reached its peak in the sun of Miami. While he began his tenure as a versatile arm moving between the rotation and the bullpen, he quickly emerged as a reliable workhorse.

After a solid introduction in late 2002, Pavano spent 2003 proving his durability by logging over 200 innings for the first time. While his regular season record of 12-13 was modest, he saved his best work for the postseason. He operated as a versatile weapon for manager Jack McKeon, appearing in eight games and posting a stellar 1.40 ERA over 19.1 innings. His brilliance in the World Series against the Yankees, where he allowed only one run over eight innings in Game 4, was vital in securing the franchise’s second World Series championship.

Pavano followed that with his best season, going to his only All-Star Game and posting career-highs in Wins (18), ERA (3.00), Innings (222.1), and WHIP (1.174).  With a sixth-place Cy Young finish, his stock had never been higher, and you know what that means.  Pavano got paid big time: by the New York Yankees.

With the Marlins, Pavano had a record of 33-23 with 313 Strikeouts.

Miguel Rojas joined the Marlins in late 2014 through the same seven-player blockbuster that brought Dee Strange-Gordon to Miami. Initially viewed as a defensive specialist from the Dodgers' system, he arrived in Florida with a reputation for elite glovework and a modest bat.

Between 2015 and 2017, Rojas served as a versatile insurance policy, playing various infield positions and mainly functioning as a defensive substitute at shortstop. His value was evident in 2017 when he hit .290 despite dealing with a thumb injury, demonstrating his capacity for a larger offensive role. In 2018, he became the regular shortstop, playing a career-high 153 games and setting personal records for hits and home runs. During the shortened 2020 season, he achieved a career-best .304 batting average and helped lead the young Marlins team to an unexpected postseason appearance. Known as the team's unofficial “Captain," he brought stability to the organization and eventually secured a multi-year extension, reaffirming his position as the franchise's rebuilding face.

In January 2023, he was traded back to his original club, the Los Angeles Dodgers, in exchange for Jacob Amaya.  As a Marlin, Rojas compiled 707 hits, a .268 batting average, and 269 RBIs.
