It’s not hard to look at the current state of the Miami Marlins and see why the team’s CEO Derek Jeter isn’t pleased with the club’s progress so far this season.
A 9-23 record, worst in the team’s history through 32 games. A -71 run differential in their first 32 games, another record they would soon like to forget. One of the worst home run hitting teams in the Majors – a product of decisions the front office has made to jettison powerful bats to mortgage the future.
It’s a plan that we all know would take a few years to develop.
