1. I’m glad you said it. Not a Marlins fan, but can’t stand front offices that behave in this manner. It’s like an MLB version of Office Space.

2. Ownership style is an important reason why some teams succeed and others flounder into failure.

3. It's crazy that the Marlins have won a World Series more recently than several teams in this year's playoffs(Guardians, Mets, Tigers, Orioles, Brewers, Padres). However, outside of 1997/2003, they've been largely irrelevant.

   Will this wholesale turnover change anything? It's probably more like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

4. Need to change to a better name..marlins doesnt sound like a tough baseball team more like a restaurant or fish market

5. firing the whole thing should be owner not manager

6. I might be the only person that liked the home run sculpture in center field. Wouldn't want something like that in any other ballpark, but it fit in Miami. If there is one thing Loria knew, it was art, and that sculpture was a great fit in that spot.

7. It seemed like they were heading in the right direction with Kim Ng– not sure what happened there.

8. I could give a 💩 about the Marlins (says a disgruntled A's fan) but this is why I watch you, David. The business of baseball, and sports is fascinating, or, how you inform us of what's really going on, more specifically.

9. They going to raid Tampa's organization for coaches and executives…
