#6: SO NOW WHAT?

It is not hyperbole to suggest the hiring of Peter Bendix as president of baseball operations will, one way or another, define Bruce Sherman’s time as Marlins owner.

We years ago moved beyond the point where he can blame any of the Marlins’ on-field or off-field issues on previous owner Jeffrey Loria.
