Well, good news, you’re in the right place.
I’ve done some research and have found players who played for both the Marlins and the Guardians.
Rare Choices
The following guys are generally well-remembered as either a Marlin or a Guardians, but not necessarily both.
Hanley Ramirez
Hanley Ramirez, who played from 2005 to 2019, is best known for his time as a shortstop and left fielder with the Marlins and Red Sox. He also had stops with the Los Angeles Dodgers and Cleveland Guardians.
Ramirez was a dynamic player, known for his blend of speed and power. He compiled over 1,800 hits, 271 home runs, and 281 stolen bases.
He was the 2006 NL Rookie of the Year (Marlins), a three-time All-Star (Marlins), and won two Silver Slugger Awards (Marlins). Ramirez had over 200 hits in 2007 with the Marlins and won the NL Batting Title with a .342 average in 2009.
Carl Pavano
Carl Pavano, a right-handed pitcher who started his career in 1998, had a somewhat uneven MLB journey, punctuated by moments of brilliance. He notably shone with the Florida Marlins in 2004 (his lone All-Star appearance), securing 18 wins with an impressive 3.00 ERA.
Over his career, he racked up 108 wins and 1091 strikeouts while maintaining a 4.39 ERA. Pavano played for the Montreal Expos, New York Yankees, Cleveland Indians, and Minnesota Twins, displaying admirable resilience in the face of recurrent injuries.
Brad Hand
Brad Hand was selected by the Florida Marlins in the second round of the 2008 MLB Draft. He is a relief pitcher known for his quality fastball-slider combination.
Throughout his career, Hand has received several honors, including three All-Star selections in 2017, 2018, and 2019. He has also been among the league leaders in saves multiple times.
Hand has played for 9 different teams in his 13-year career (6 just in the last three seasons) including the Marlins, Padres, Indians, Nationals, Mets, Blue Jays, Phillies, Rockies and Braves.
