The Marlins came off a controversial inaugural season that saw the team temporarily suspended due to game-fixing allegations.[1] Now with Kyt Jimenez leading the team, Sarangani was able to turn things around by finishing the season third place in the South Division. Their playoff run came to an abrupt end after getting swept by the sixth-seeded Rizal Golden Coolers in the division quarterfinals.[2]
