Ely Sussman is back on the mic to reflect on the deleterious effects that events out of the Miami Marlins’ control—like the COVID pandemic and the ongoing MLB lockout—have had on the franchise’s rebuilding plan. Is ownership willing to spend more to overcome frustrating setbacks on the player development side?
Enjoy Episode 145!
As the MLB lockout enters its 11th week, league owners continue to drag their feet on resolving core economic issues. A delayed Opening Day is increasingly likely, which would be an especially frustrating outcome for the Marlins as they enter the 2022 season with heightened expectations. Even in a best-case scenario, we’re looking at a compressed spring training with less time and reps available to integrate key offseason acquisitions.
