Part 3/8:
During the speaker's tenure, the Marlins struggled significantly, failing to achieve even a .500 record during the last eight years of their leadership. In stark contrast, Jeter's management saw the team make strides, culminating in a playoff appearance during a shortened season. The evolution of the franchise under new ownership has not gone unnoticed; the farm system has transformed from a ranking of 37th to now sitting among the top five in the nation. Moreover, the team displayed tangible improvement on the field, finishing above .500 for the first time since 2009—an achievement that the speaker couldn’t help but acknowledge.
