When I look back on the 161 games over the 2018 Miami Marlins baseball season, I see progress, hope for the future and plenty of disappointment.
I speak of that from a fan’s perspective. As a lover of the game of baseball, it’s hard to watch a franchise become a reclamation project when there were puzzle pieces in place to build around. No matter how many times the media, myself included, pointed out the old blueprint wasn’t yielding success, the decision to tear everything apart and start fresh seemed excessive.
Especially when you see the results of other teams who acquired top Marlins talent this offseason.
