I’m not ready to anoint the Miami Marlins as the next team to rise from last place in their division to make the playoffs, but I am going to be one of those writers who believe this team will be better than the last-place team in Major League Baseball.
We know the Derek Jeter has no patience for losing, which is something he’s having to deal with down in South Florida, as he spoke in an interview in the New York Post last week. But these Marlins, as young as they are, should win more than 57 games as they did in 2019 and could make a move towards the 75-win plateau that many of us have talked about.
