Spring training is here, and optimism is high among those inside the Miami Marlins organization. That’s to be expected. Every team is optimistic at the start of the new season.

On the latest episode of Fish Bytes, Miami Herald Marlins beat writer Jordan McPherson and deputy sports editor Andre Fernandez break down what they saw from the first day of workouts at Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium — which included interviews with chairman and principal owner Bruce Sherman, general manager Kim Ng, manager Don Mattingly and a half-dozen players — and dive into where this team currently stands heading into Year 5 of the Sherman ownership group.
