Miami is the worst sports town in the country.
I get everyone saying Miami is not a sports town, but I agree I don’t think that’s it.
I’ll just announce it to all of you...I’ve given up on pro sports. It’s only a matter of time before the nonsense works its way into all of them. It has dawned on me over the last couple years how much time, money, energy I invested in pro sports. I had several shirts, tee’s, hoodies, on and on and on. NFL pushed me outside. I camp, bought a UTV, boat, joined a large lease with 365 access, etc. I spend my weekends outside and away. I now take my kids along too, my son has gotten into archery as a result.
Anyone think there are more like me that just said forget it all??
They are tearing down the team and unloading big contracts in exchange for prospects and draft picks. Most notably, they traded Giancarlo Stanton to the Yankees.
Personally, I think the strategy is correct. As constituted, the Marlins were missing too many pieces to become a consistent playoff contender and were carrying too much payroll to do anything about it. Stanton's contract, despite his talent, is ridiculous, something only the Yankees and maybe the Dodgers could afford. If he pulls off an Astros style rebuild, the fans will come back.
The Marlins are a Triple A team posing as a National League team...
