2006 Florida Marlins season

March 2026 November 2013 Florida Marlins 2006 National League East Dolphin Stadium Miami Gardens 78–84 (.481) 4th Jeffrey Loria Larry Beinfest Joe Girardi FSN FloridaWPXM/WPXP(Rich Waltz, Tommy Hutton) WQAM(Dave Van Horne, Roxy Bernstein)WQBA (Spanish)(Felo Ramírez, Luis Quintana) The 2006 Florida Marlins season was the 14th in Marlins franchise history; an American Major League Baseball team based in Miami Gardens, Florida. They finished the season in fourth place in the National League East. They are notable for greatly exceeding expectations and remaining close in the Wild Card race until September, despite having the lowest payroll in the Major Leagues and using primarily rookies and low priced veterans due to undergoing a fire sale after the 2005 season. They also became the first team in MLB history to be at least 20 games under .500 (11–31), and at any later point in the same season be above .500 (69–68). The team ultimately fell back under .500, and missed the postseason for the third consecutive year. Despite this, their efforts were widely noticed across the league, to the point that manager Joe Girardi won the NL Manager of the Year, the first time a manager of a team with a losing record won the award.
