Of all the great players to have donned a Miami Marlins jersey, none have contributed more to the team’s success than Giancarlo Stanton. In 2017, Stanton blasted a league best 59 home runs and collected 132 RBIs on way to being named the National League MVP. In all, Stanton accrued 35.5 wins above replacement while patrolling the outfield for the Marlins for eight seasons.
FLORIDA MARLINS ALL-TIME ROSTER
After Stanton, the Marlins next highest WAR totals belong to 3-time All Star shortstop Hanley Ramirez (26.9) and 2-time All Star pitcher Josh Johnson (25.7).
No active Marlins player makes the all-time roster as the franchise has had a long history of trading away players that flash elite talent, i.e. Miguel Cabrera (traded to the Tigers), Stanton (traded to the Yankees), and Christian Yelich (traded to the Brewers).
Without further ado, let’s have a look at the biggest contributors by position…
