Patience. That seemed to be Marlins CEO Derek Jeter’s go-to response as he was drilled with questions at Tuesday evening’s town hall at Marlins Park.
Before the madness began, Jeter opened up on the defense, addressing five stories that he felt painted an incorrect image of the ownership group.
Ownership cannot afford the team
Jeter seemed eager to clear the air about the ownership’s financial situation, citing that the group is full of “financially successful” individuals. I don't think anybody was disputing the fact that a group that mustered together over a billion dollars to purchase the Marlins was not full of financially successful individuals, however much was said of the group’s struggles to gather investors during the purchasing process.
