Marlins Designate Anthony Veneziano For Assignment

By Steve Adams | August 1, 2025 at 2:30pm CDT

The Marlins have designated left-hander Anthony Veneziano for assignment, per a team announcement. His spot on the 40-man roster goes to outfield prospect Jakob Marsee, whose previously reported promotion to the majors has now been officially announced. Miami also optioned righty Ryan Gusto, acquired from the Astros in yesterday’s Jesus Sanchez trade, to Triple-A Jacksonville.

The 27-year-old Veneziano was a waiver claim out of the Royals system last year. He’s pitched a combined 36 2/3 major league innings between those two clubs and logged a solid 3.93 ERA. Veneziano has struck out 20.6% of his major league opponents and yielded a roughly average 8.8% walk rate. He’s also kept the ball on the ground at a respectable 41.4% clip and averaged 94.4 mph on his four-seamer (albeit just 94.1 mph this year, compared to 94.8 mph in 2024).

It’s a decent track record for the former 10th-rounder, although Veneziano has had a much rougher go in Triple-A Jacksonville this season. While he’s only tossed 12 1/3 innings there, he’s been tagged for eight runs (5.84 ERA) on 12 hits and an unsightly nine walks in that time.

Veneziano is in the second of three minor league option years and has had some success at the big league level. Given the limited means of adding depth following the trade deadline, he could latch on with another club via waivers. Miami will place him on waivers within the next five days, and those waivers will take an additional 48 hours whenever the Fish choose to begin the process.

    It must be so lousy being a Marlins fan? Seriously my heart goes all out to you.

      I mean…its a lot better right now than any other point in the last 22 years, but I guess this was a justifiable reaction to this move…

        Not a fish fan specifically, but to your point, seems like some good and possibly sustainable things are starting to happen with the Marlins these days. Rebuilds and new directions can be fun if you know you’re being patient for something real down the road:)

        I hope the Marlins can turn it around with this rebuild…it’d be really cool to see them have multiple really good years in a row. As an Astros fan, I like the haul y’all got for Sanchez. Both Jaworsky & Valencia can absolutely fly and have high floors with sound approaches at the plate as they’re both contact over power type hitters. Gusto did an awesome job eating innings this year as a rookie, and he has mid rotation 3/4 starter upside if he can refine a few more secondary pitches. His fastball is already really good & he typically has pretty solid command.

          If Gusto can give them even slightly better results than he’s been getting, I’m good with it…its exactly what they needed.

          I’m still super surprised Otto Lopez, Cal Quantrill, Janson Junk, Valente Bellozo, Lake Bachar, Tyler Phillips, Calvin Faucher, Anthony Bender are still here though…Even though they’re going woth the depth and callups, and riding this out, which I easily can see them continuing to win as they have been, I thought they still could have potentially done that, and traded bullpen arms, and backend SPs for assets. Someone might point to maybe lack of value on Quantrill, but look at his last 7-15 starts, and he is more than comparable to others that got moved

          Yeah I was also really surprised they didn’t do more. They have some nice pieces that would’ve returned value. It seems the price of SP at the deadline was sky high for everyone…BUT something is better than nothing especially for someone with an expiring contract like Quantrill. I mean look at the Pirates too…I mean why in the heck did they not move Andrew Heaney?? Now you’re going to be getting absolutely nothing for him. And the Pirates had multiple veterans on 1 year deals like IKF, etc…so it’s even a worse look for them than the Marlins. But I do agree…the Marlins have some really nice BP pieces that could’ve been had, PLUS you look at the prices some of these teams were paying for the bullpen & the fish could’ve cashed it in even more. Like you, I’m really surprised by that. I’d be interested to hear what Bendix has to say about it.

          Theyre basically going for it with this momentum, but I think they could.have still done that. They have depth up the middle, and have arms to call up

          Hey @formerlyz, was John Rooney one of the arms that you were referring to that they could’ve called up? Just curious obviously with his recent trade.

          No, they have other arms, but he did dominate lefties thos year in AAA, despite the walks

      I’m happy as a marlins fan. Two World Series championships since 97, and we are going in the right direction.

    I agree & I mean…they’re 7 GB of the WC, so it’s extremely unlikely that they make it. HOWEVER, what they’ve done this year has been incredibly impressive. Think they’ve taken the league by storm to an extent with how they’ve over exceeded expectations & shocked people everywhere.
