Sorry, Miami Marlins, your World Series trophy is in another castle.
In these send-offs, we usually make some jokes up here, but it just seems wrong to joke about the Marlins — a team whose surprise season ended in tragedy when their ace Jose Fernandez died last weekend at age 24 in a boating accident. That will leave a season in which they were a surprise wild-contenders filled with much more sorrow than it should.
Like we’ll do with every eliminated team in our Game Over series, we’re about to examine what went wrong for the Marlins, what went right, what’s the best 2016 memory, what they need to fix and what the future might hold.
