Three years ago today, Miami Marlins star Jazz Chisholm Jr. predicted that they would win a championship within two or three years. This hasn't happened yet and this is the last year that his prediction could still come true, though it is still an uphill battle. The Marlins finished in fourth place in the National League East in 2022.
Seeing a superstar with confidence is always a great sign and is part of what makes Chisholm Jr. such a great player. He likely believed that his prediction would come true without a doubt thanks to his unwavering confidence. Being reminded of this bold claim caused quite a reaction from the Marlins fanbase, who desperately want to see a winning team.
Twitter user Fish Stripes shared a video of Jazz Chisholm Jr.'s bold prediction.

The Miami Marlins are far from being a World Series contender in 2023, but they are moving in the right direction. They have the reigning Cy Young award winner in Sandy Alcantara and a potential superstar in Chisholm Jr. The NL East is simply too good this year with the New York Mets, Philadelphia Phillies, and Atlanta Braves all at the top of their games.
The Marlins have only made the playoffs once since their World Series championship win in 2003. They ended their playoff drought in 2020, but some pointed to the shortened season as a way to discredit the accomplishment.
There are constant rumors swirling around Jazz Chisholm Jr., likely due to the big payday he is bound to receive. There are doubts that the Miami Marlins would be willing to shell out the kind of money it would take to retain him.
A championship might not be on the cards for the Miami Marlins this season, but they are improving, slowly but surely.
What are the Miami Marlins' expectations for the 2023 season?
Despite the prediction from Jazz Chisholm Jr. still having some time to pay off, it is doubtful that he will even expect a championship this year. The team needs to show its ability to grow and develop some of its young players.
If the Marlins show growth and improve on their win total from 2022, 2023 will be a great year.
