Is this the season? The Miami Marlins have not had a winning season since 2009 and have not reached the playoffs since 2003. For those of you playing at home, it’s been a while. The front office is hoping for progress towards a winning season, which still may not happen for at least another year or two.
Think of this organization as the “Little Engine That Could” this season – thinking it can escape the basement of the National East with the best chance to make some noise since 2016 when they finished 79-82 and still fought for a playoff berth until the final two weeks of the season.
