Yoenis Cespedes’ tour of Marlins Park a ‘step in the process’

Outfielder Yoenis Cespedes, a free agent from Cuba, praised the Marlins’ offseason moves after meeting with the front office.

In My Opinion

Yoenis Cespedes, Miami Marlins a perfect fit

The Miami Marlins are such a natural fit for Yoenis Cespedes and such a prohibitive favorite to sign the Cuban-defector outfielder that one struggles to imagine what could possibly prevent it happening.

In My Opinion

Everything about these Marlins just screams Miami

Rather famously, the reckless, renegade football champions at the University of Miami did an excellent job of representing the strange and wonderful city that surrounded them. Fun. Crazy. Out of control. Those teams, in the carnival of sports, even held the racial tension of the time up to a funhouse mirror. Miami, the city, and Miami, the program, were intertwined in a way that made those insane Hurricanes feel like an accurate symbol for this insane city. Years later, LeBron James came along and the Heat took our international city’s superficial evolution and framed it in flashbulbs. Florescent and famous. Big and bold. A little bit “too much” but wearing that “too much” proudly, like the guy buying bottles at the club soaked in all that jewelry and cologne.
