You can feel this is a different year for the Miami Marlins. There is more energy in the voices of the front office. There is a different tone with each sentence spoken. As Don Mattingly outlined at FanFest, this is a team that is satisfied with landing at the bottom of the National League East. This is a ballclub that wants to make noise everyone in Major League Baseball can hear loud and clear.
“This will be a year, if we don’t make significant improvements from last year, then there’s going to be disappointment within our group,” Mattingly said on Saturday via MLB.
