It’s a combination of different factors. By the time pro baseball came to South Florida by way of the Marlins in 93, most folks down here either rooted for the Braves, who were on TV all the time, or their hometown team if they were transplants. Another factor that hurts both Florida pro teams is the fact that so many of the classic, historic franchises hold their spring training here.
That said, the Marlins had great opportunities to build loyalty after both their title runs in 97 and 03. Instead ownership held fire sales shortly after each title. The new ballpark came way too late, and infamously at the local taxpayers’ expense (much to our chagrin).
Combine all these factors together and you get the low attendance, which in turn leads to this being a low revenue, low budget team (especially when compared to market size). The Marlins just never committed to winning like the Heat, the other young but popular franchise here, did.

LF and CF production Yankees have been bottom 5, and have nobody coming back to fix it.
Yankees problem this year has been hitting more than pitching even with the handful of meltdowns.

HR or bust mentality certainly isn’t helping them either I see. Watching the game on ESPN. Legit don’t move runners at all.

MLB teams are worth too much not to address that issue.

Anyone watching this Nats game to see if Scherzer is pulled early???

Hope Scherzer ends up on the Giants. Balance out the NL West even more.

I always wondered how MLB teams could afford to have so many minor league players. Turns out they just pay them peanuts and let them become homeless
