Miami Marlins star Jazz is now pursued by another team
It appears that the Miami Marlins may be showing off a certain player's positional versatility. I'm of course talking about CF Jazz Chisholm Jr., who The Fish will supposedly not trade.

Police, FBI conduct pre-dawn raid at SW Miami-Dade home
MIAMI - One person was taken into custody after Miami-Dade police and FBI agents executed a narcotics warrant at a southwest Miami-Dade residence early Tuesday morning. According to police, their officers served the warrant to residents of a home at SW 127th Avenue and SW 120th Street. Michael Pascual said he woke to strange noises. "You see the FBI doing flash bangs, it started at 6 a.m. in the morning. They went inside to take people out, the whole family out," he said. "They've been renting here already for two years, everybody here is on their own business, we don't ask anything." He added that at least two people walked out of the house in handcuffs. Pascual said he saw several undercover agents and police officers going in and coming out of the home, a few carrying boxes. Neither the police nor the FBI would say what the investigation involved. The federal agency would only say it was "conducting court ordered activity."

Marlins division rivals are completely falling apart
The Miami Marlins are not going to the playoffs this season, nor have The Fish ever even won the division. This is frustrating to know. What's not frustrating historically, is that The Fish won the World Series just as many times in the last 30 years as the Atlanta Braves and more than all of the other division rivals.
