Just like thousands of Miami Marlins fans, I was angry and skeptical of the changes the new ownership group led by Derek Jeter and Bruce Sherman had in store for the organization and the community in South Florida.
After seeing the front office dismantle the team, “giving away” talents like Giancarlo Stanton, Marcell Ozuna, Dee Gordon, and Christian Yelich, I was none too pleased with the direction this team was headed.
But after writing for the past year about this organization, seeing the changes in personnel and taking a deeper look into the improvements from Single-A ball up to the Major League level, this blueprint Jeter talked about last year before the start of Spring Training is working.
