Year 1 of the Derek Jeter era ended Sunday.
And the end couldn’t come soon enough for the Marlins, who can now put this dreadful season behind them after going down to defeat in a 1-0 closing day loss to the New York Mets to finish with the worst record in the National League.
The Marlins will be picking fourth overall in next summer’s amateur draft, and that’s the top takeaway on a tortuously difficult season under new ownership that contained few positives.
The team’s final record of 63-98 came as little to no surprise to anyone.
