It hasn’t been a banner year for the Miami Marlins. Not only have things gone wrong, they’ve managed to go wrong at the most inopportune moments. Another tally on the list, third baseman Martin Prado will be out the remainder of the season.
While that in and of itself isn’t that much of an inconvenience from an on the field, baseball perspective. It could be a harbinger of the kind of difficulties the Miami Marlins front office will face in revamping the team.
With Prado on the disabled list, he becomes dead money to a team that can’t afford it.
