The Royals actually visited the Miami Marlins as recently as 2016. You remember Jarrod Dyson’s amazing catch in center field during that series. Or maybe you don’t. That’s okay too. That year, the Marlins finished 79-82 while the Royals finished 81-81. Both were thoroughly mediocre in 2017 as well before starting a decline in 2018 that has continued this season, so the trajectory is fairly similar since the 2016 season. Both teams rely on a lot of inexperience and hope that their farm systems will produce big talent soon. The Marlins don’t have much offensively right now, with the fewest home runs in all of baseball to go along with one of the lowest stolen base totals (and the worst success rate when trying).
