Marlins Fans Call On Owner Bruce Sherman To Sell Team

May 13, 2024 7:46 AM

Miami Marlins fans are not happy in the wake of the Luis Arraez trade.

A handful of fans protested outside LoanDepot Park prior to Friday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies with fans imploring owner Bruce Sherman to sell the team.

"We are only a few here but the majority of fans are disgusted," said Luis De Armas, a decades-long Marlins fan and the organizer of the protest. "We want to continue coming to the games but not when it remains a losing club. All because of an owner who promised us one thing and did something else." 

After dealing Arraez, Marlins executive Peter Bendix indicated that more deals were on the horizon.

"That's part of the calculation. It's part of the value of the player for the rest of the season when unfortunately our record is what it is, and the fact is that we're unlikely to make the playoffs this year," Bendix said. "Trading that for future value seems like the right thing for this organization right now."

Luis Arraez Collects Four Hits In Padres Debut

May 5, 2024 1:28 AM

Luis Arraez had four hits and an RBI in his first game after being traded from the Miami Marlins, Ha-Seong Kim hit a three-run homer in San Diego's eight-run seventh inning and the Padres routed the Arizona Diamondbacks 13-1 on Saturday.

The Padres made a massive deal Friday, acquiring Arraez from the Marlins along with nearly $7.9 million in a trade for four players. The two-time batting champion didn't join his new team until about 3:30 p.m. Saturday, but wasted no time in producing, going 4 for 6 while scoring two runs.

"Clearly an amazing approach and I can see why he is the rightful moniker of 'The Sprinkler,'" Padres manager Micke Shildt said.
