Derek Jeter warned the Miami Marlins fans that “unpopular decisions” were on the way when he took over the team. Throughout the Winter Meetings, the Marlins faithful learned the extent of those decisions. As you would expect, they were unpopular.
The Miami Marlins traded Giancarlo Stanton to the New York Yankees. They traded Marcell Ozuna to the St. Louis Cardinals. And just before the Winter Meetings began, traded Dee Gordon to the Seattle Mariners. With the major deals done, the Marlins still have a lot of work to do.
