Things We Love to See: July 17, 2018
A lot has been said about the Miami Marlins new front office since they took over the team in October from disaster artist Jeffrey Loria and his crew of franchise destroyers. The ownership group, headed by businessman Bruce Sherman and legendary New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter, took over a team $400 million in debt and deep in the middle of an identity crisis. With an outfield full of All-Stars (LF Marcell Ozuna, CF Christian Yelich, and RF slugger Giancarlo Stanton) and surrounding pieces such as 1B Justin Bour and C J.T. Realmuto, it seemed like adding a few arms to the Marlins would be enough to vault them to the promised land.
