A sports organization that undergoes a rebuild is like a train headed through a long tunnel. You start out in daylight, enjoying the view in an open area, and then...sudden darkness. Some passengers of the cabin (observant fans) may have seen the tunnel coming; they understood that the “track” they were riding on would lead them through this process before arriving at its ultimate destination. For the rest of them, the sudden absence of light was a shock to their system.
This has been the experience for Marlins fans since 2017.
Like it or not, we are all on this train together, and the ride could be bumpy.
