What excites him most about the Marlins moving forward?

“They have a plan and they will absolutely not budge from the execution of that plan. They know where they wanna get and how they wanna get there, and there won’t be any getting sidetracked along the way...

“To me, this really is the one and only chance for this franchise on and off the field. They’ve been doing everything the right way—they’ve immersed themselves in the community, the ballpark enhancements, the reduced ticket prices, the concession prices. They’re reaching out to people.”

This article contains Geffner’s original Twitter thread on the subject of fan support at Marlins Park and the direction of the franchise.
