The Marlins have designated SS Tim Anderson for assignment which marks a definitive decline for the former All-Star. Covino & Rich, filling in for Dan Patrick, provide some theories on how a man who styled himself as the next Jackie Robinson could fall so far, so fast.
Steve Covino: “When Jose Ramirez of the Guardians embarrassed him nation wide and that highlight was everywhere...I feel like it knocked the steam out of him, and made him feel stupid, and I feel like it hurt his ego a little bit which hurt his confidence and he hasn’t been the same player since.”
Rich Davis: “I get it. There are times where a guy can lose his mojo; his confidence.”
