Consider Player X. He’s 41. He hits .200. He hasn’t played the field in three years or hit over .250 in four seasons. His own team, which remains within sight of a wild-card spot, will pay him $27 million next year to go away this year.

All together now — one, two, three …
“It’s so Marlins.”
It’s so sad, too.
