On Tuesday night, Miami Marlins CEO Derek Jeter addressed his fans’ concerns directly in the town hall meeting that took over Twitter. From the left field plaza at Marlins Park, he insisted the franchise has a clear strategy with its recent high-profile trades, and asked fans to be patient.
The Marlins have faced severe criticism from fans after trading three of their star players. Two weeks ago, they dealt Dee Gordon to the Seattle Mariners for 2015 second-round pick Nick Neidert, their 7th-ranked prospect Chris Torres, and right-handed pitcher Robert Dugger.
