Talks began in the spring but "failed to progress beyond the initial stages." Azout reports that "The Miami Marlins and Eury Perez were approximately $15 million apart on a potential contract extension," and talks have stalled for now. The 22-year-old posted a 4.25 ERA over 95 1/3 innings in 2025 after coming back from Tommy John surgery. While the results were inconsistent, Perez showcased the same ace upside that he flashed before injury. With fellow starters Sandy Alcantara and Edward Cabrera rumored to be in trade talks, the Marlins would benefit if they could lock one young starter into a longer-term deal.

It's known that the Marlins want a closer, but they could also try adding to the rotation in free agency and then trading one of their current starters, presumably either Sandy Alcantara or Edward Cabrera, for offensive help. They might see King as a more realistic target than the other top starters, as he did open his career in the organization after being drafted out of Boston College in 2016.
