Marlins make it official, welcome Mesa baseball brothers to Miami
The illuminated sign inside a press conference room at Marlins Park said it all — “Bienvenidos a Miami” followed by the names Victor Victor Mesa and Victor Mesa Jr.
In what marked the biggest signing splash under first-year owners Derek Jeter and Bruce Sherman, the Marlins on Monday formally announced the acquisition of the Mesa brothers, a pair of Cuban outfielders the organization has been pursuing with determination in its quest to go from losers to winners.
“We want Miami to be the destination for top international talent,” Jeter said before introducing the two players. “We understand the diversity here in Miami. We’re embracing that diversity.”
