first to go when he was traded to the Boston Red Sox on November 12 in exchange for another lefty, Dustin Richardson, a relief pitcher. The next day, the team shipped out young center fielder Cameron Maybin to the San Diego Padres for relief pitchers Ryan Webb and Edward Mujica to help in the expected overhaul of the team's disappointing bullpen. As soon as the season ended, the team began negotiations for a long-term deal that would keep All-Star second baseman Dan Uggla with the team. After rejecting the team's offer of $48 million over four years because of his desire for a fifth year totaling $71 million, the team reached a stalemate with Uggla, meaning his days with the team were numbered.

It signaled a change in the philosophy of the franchise who hadn't made such a free agent signing since 2005 when they had signed Carlos Delgado to a multi-year contract. The team wasn't done yet, as they signed yet another of their current players to an extension. Ricky Nolasco agreed to a three-year deal that would pay him $26.5 million through 2013, making him one of five players on the roster with a multi-year contract (the others being Hanley Ramírez, Josh Johnson, John Buck, and Randy Choate). 2011: Short-lived resurgence After the Marlins began the season with the best start in franchise history through 50 games (30–20), they had one of the worst runs in MLB history. Starting the month of June with a .053 winning percentage (1–18), manager Edwin Rodríguez resigned, and the Marlins hired former manager and special assistant to the GM Jack McKeon. The Marlins finished the month at a franchise worst 5–23, but began July at 10–4. The Marlins dropped from the second-best record in the National League to last place in the National League East.
