Word on the street is that Derek Jeter wants to slash some payroll when he gets into the Miami Marlins owners chair. In a way, that’s not a bad thing. Jeffery Loria went from miserly spendthrift to big baller all too quickly. He overpaid for players in an effort to win one more championship before leaving.
Now the incoming owners are saddled with a lot of dollars committed to a few players. Cuts on the infield are going to be particularly brutal, though. They’re likely to include a couple of fan favorites.
Like it or not, change is coming.
