It seems to me this was a final straw with the abysmal slow start (+ Eury) after the abysmal offseason, and absent them treating this year as a fundamental reset and really doing some major things differently next year, this is kind of it for them until Bruce sells. I don't know how they can recover unless they quickly decide to spend and yes I know the answer there. And yea he says he won't sell, but MLB can't like this. The league is going through an embarrassment in Oakland right now. They can't have franchises operating like this 5 years into a new ownership group, and Miami should be a marquee baseball market for sure. It's a MLB brand issue. The City of Miami can't like this. It reflects on their stadium deal and isn't driving local revenue which was the whole idea. Bruce can't like this. He's old and rich AF and everyone hates him. I wouldn't want to be in that position if I were him. My hope is, it gets so bad - and I mean laughably bad, losing 110 games - 76 year old Bruce Sherman decides he doesn't need this embarrassment in his life and he becomes a hero admitting he is not up to this challenge and sells to someone who will care. That's the best thing he can do for the organization. Like Mark Richt retiring and voiding his own contract admitting he wasn't up for the Canes job anymore.
We'll see, but not much else to say here besides I still will check some box scores and hope they develop some of these bats for next year/show some vision in extending some guys like Jazz/Cabrera, as ultimately, things can change fast with the arms if they can get them healthy April 2025 with Eury not tracking far behind them. That's about it though. Winning cures all, but they are going to need a whole lot to make that happen in 2025.
