Even after going through a name change, it has been 10 seasons since the Miami Marlins have produced a team that has finished a regular season with a record that is .500 or above, an astounding number of seasons that have been filled with futility. And even with Derek Jeter at the helm helping run […]

Miami Marlins CEO Derek Jeter has seen his fair share of criticism since taking the reins of the franchise in the summer of 2017.
