The Marlins have not been the same since the loss of pitcher Jose Fernandez. Its been three years since the organization and the baseball community lost one of the best rising pitchers of this era. With it, a franchise has since redefined itself with new players and a new outlook on its future.
Sept. 25, 2016, will forever be known as the worst day in Miami Marlins history.
It was the first season of the Don Mattingly era in South Florida. It was the last time this ball club, with future National League MVPs in Giancarlo Stanton and Christian Yelich, were in a playoff race.
