On a day the Marlins announced how they will replace former owner Jeffrey Loria’s prized home run sculpture that new management wanted to no part of, the difference in approach between Loria and new owner Derek Jeter was reinforced in another way, too.
While Jeter has indicated he will defer to his baseball people, the extent of Loria’s intervention gained some clarity Tuesday.
During his weekly segment on the local hour of Dan Le Batard’s ESPN show on 790 The Ticket, Marlins president David Samson confirmed what the Miami Herald and others previously reported, that Loria meddled to extremes in personnel decisions.
