Predicting surprise: Young players who could shine for Marlins, Royals in 2018

It’s possible that the now-depleted Marlins might slightly redeem themselves after their sell-off, thanks to the Marcell Ozuna trade that yielded them a young pitcher filled with potential.

Rob Manfred, Derek Jeter and bad faith make ugly Marlins situation even worse
