MIAMI (AP) -- The Miami Marlins have been slow out of the gate this year, and their new custom-designed team plane has yet to take off.
The Marlins leased a Boeing 767-200 from a private company during the offseason and ordered it retrofitted with extra-large seats, couches, a massage table and card tables. But officials are still waiting on the plane, and team President David Samson said Wednesday they might not get it this season.
Samson says the parties to the contract have been unable to fill their side of it.
The Marlins still plan to fly in a custom-designed plane, but it might not happen until next season.
