There were very few teams in the 2019 season projected to do worse than the Detroit Tigers, and the Miami Marlins happen to be one of them. The team’s current 13-31 record is... not great. They sold off their top stars and brought in a future Hall of Famer as their owner, all in the hope of shaking things up for a rebuild.
So we wanted to know how another rebuilding club was doing, especially under new ownership.
We asked Ely Sussman, managing editor of the SB Nation Marlin’s blog Fish Stripes to tell us more about this 2019 club, and if a certain former Tigers outfielder might be available as a trade target.
