If you take a look at the Miami Marlins’ roster tomorrow and don’t recognize many names, you won’t be alone. The Marlins dove headfirst into yet another rebuild when they traded Giancarlo Stanton and Marcell Ozuna in the same week in December 2017, and future National League MVP Christian Yelich just a month later. We can debate the merits of such an endeavor elsewhere, but the result is crystal clear; this is one of the worst teams in Major League Baseball.
Of course, Marlins fans will be saying nearly the exact same things about the Tigers’ 2019 roster.
