Hey, remember last season when we were bullish on the Miami Marlins and saw some playoff appearances in their future?
Boy, talk about being wrong in the wrongest way. Not only did the Marlins not make the playoffs in 2024, but they barely showed up at all. Kim Ng leaving the front office had a ripple effect across the organization to the point where reigning National League Manager of the Year Skip Schumaker just checked out.
The rest went as predictably expected for the Marlins. They lost 100 games. Popular players with rising price tags were traded.
