As soon as the final out was recorded on the 63-98 season for the Miami Marlins, the front office began working on improvements for 2019 and beyond.
The process actually began before last season when Derek Jeter and Bruce Sherman took over as owners of the ballclub, making drastic changes to the roster, making a blueprint of stadium improvements and working to improve the culture not only of the team but within the baseball community in South Florida.
The Marlins didn’t blow anyone away with their efforts on the field in 2018, but the minor league system is better.
