When Derek Jeter purchased the Miami Marlins from previous owner Jeffery Loria, baseball in Miami rejoiced. He promptly started making decisions that divided an already wary Marlins fanbase. Now we get to see how informed one of his earliest decisions was.
Jeter pilfered Gary Denbo from the New York Yankees front office. Denbo already had a reputation within the industry of being an excellent talent evaluator. That will now be put to the test. In trading with the New York Yankees, the Miami Marlins got back only two players.
Now Miami is going to have to trust that Gary Denbo chose the right two players in the deal.
