With the news reported by Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald that the Marlins intend to run with a $90 million dollar payroll next season, it has become abundantly clear that some of the current roster is on it’s way out.
Not that we didn’t see it coming from Derek Jeter’s previous remarks. In his introductory press conference, he all but said that a rebuild was coming.
Getting to $90 million dollars or thereabouts with an anticipated $140 million 2018 opening day payroll is a little tricky as you might imagine. The Marlins have a large amount of money invested in one player.
