Maybe the worst of it, Miami Marlins CEO Derek Jeter said on the other side of a week in which his roster was felled by the coronavirus and therefore overhauled, in which there were wispy rumors of poor behavior, in which so much of the conversation was about the mess the Marlins had made of things, was that hardly anyone stopped to ask about how those young men were. If they were going to be OK. And their families.
The roster, he granted, was hit hard. Players and personnel were careless, he said, at the very least.
