Derek Jeter May Be Stuck With Marlins’ Home Run Sculpture

MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) — There are going to be a lot of changes when the Miami Marlins take the field this season.

Season previews suggesting the Marlins have an entirely new look in the outfield aren’t quite accurate.

Yes, major league home run king Giancarlo Stanton is gone. So are Christian Yelich, Marcell Ozuna and even fourth outfielder Ichiro Suzuki.

But the Red Grooms home run sculpture remains.

While the Marlins have undergone a radical makeover under CEO Derek Jeter, he has yet to find a new home for the kitschy, colorful, carnivalesque sculpture nicknamed Homer.
