Fan fest was this past weekend and given the upheaval of the off season, one could be forgiven if they were wincing at the thought of Marlins’ brass, coaches and players showing up with smiles on their faces trying to put a positive spin on things.
Show up they did, though, and by most accounts, they were successful. If you missed the whole thing, check out editor Ely Sussman’s thread (via @fishstripes) for a solid pictorial recap of the event.
At this point, you’ve either bought into re2pecting the process, or you haven’t. And if you haven’t, you likely weren’t going to fan fest anyway.
