Kevin Randel, the manager of the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp, told the media he was excited about coming back to Jacksonville to help the Miami Marlins Double-A affiliate try and win a Southern League title starting Thursday against the Jackson Generals at the Baseball Grounds of Jacksonville.
The Jumbo Shrimp are a team built on solid pitching and speed on the basepads and in the outfield. The Shrimp, like the Marlins parent team, hope they can improve on their lack of success in 2018.
“Getting back to Jacksonville is great,” Randel said.
