The Miami Marlins new ownership group made a loud and proud appearance at the 2017 Winter Meetings. They kicked off the festivities by trading MVP slugger Giancarlo Stanton. Then closed them out by trading Marcell Ozuna to the St. Louis Cardinals.
As a byproduct of parting ways with their franchise players, they’ve upset the ones that are still on the team. Christian Yelich isn’t happy. J.T. Realmuto has all but formally requested a trade. Neither of these hold contractual significance, but they don’t bode well.
