10-1/2 months ago, the Marlins promoted Caroline O’Connor to president of business operations. With GM Kim Ng, that made the Marlins the first U.S. major franchise to have women simultaneously as president and GM.
Incredibly happy for those two playoff-bound women tonight.
Perez will be the youngest starting pitcher in Marlins franchise history when he starts Friday Night. Jose Fernandez was 20 years old, 250 days back in 2013. He will also be the youngest RHP to start in the big leagues in 17 years.
