Rising talent: prospects the Marlins could promote this season
JUPITER -- It’s no secret that the Marlins don’t have a farm system brimming with top prospects. Baseball America ranks it 29th -- ahead of only the Angels -- in terms of organizational talent.That doesn’t mean the cupboard is completely bare.Based on conversations with talent evaluators, both within and outside of the Marlins’ organization, here are three players who could find their way onto the big-league roster at some point this season:1) Dillon Peters -- The Marlins gambled on Peters in 2..>> view originalMiami police officer accused of stealing from drivers he pulled over

The Miami River is the city’s birthplace. Its dark streaming waters are the 5 1/2-mile heart. The artifacts along its banks, like the 2000-year-old Miami Circle, are its soul.Here, too, is the Miami birthplace of Capt. Beau Payne, born Sept. 14, 1964, and raised in time-battered apartments along the Miami River, a vital, but oft-abused, economic engine in cargo shipping.A young Payne loved the sight of the river’s tugboats and was determined that he, too, would become a tugboat pilot.

No, there are no illusions, at least not now, of being another Dwyane Wade. Even confidence-oozing Dion Waiters knows playing a 25-game stretch at D-Wade’s level certainly does not warrant comparisons with a future Hall of Famer.But ask him about the idea of becoming Wade’s longterm successor here, not merely a one-year stopgap, and that elicits one of Waiters’ infectious smiles.“If you don’t think like that, you’re crazy,” he said. “I am enjoying this thing.

The Miami Heat boarded its flight to Indianapolis late Saturday night with an impressive 104-89 home victory in hand over the Toronto Raptors and a starting point guard who looked like he took a right hook from Rocky Balboa.Although he could barely see out of his swollen right eye after taking an elbow to his eye socket early in the third quarter from Raptors guard Cory Joseph, Goran Dragic said after the game he intends to play when Miami (32-34) — winners of 21 of its past 25 games but still ..>> view originalMiami-Dade lawmakers want criminal penalties for fraud and abuse ...
After decades of struggling against a condo regulatory system that experts say perpetuates impunity and makes it easy to commit fraud, thousands of condominium owners in Florida may finally see substantial changes in state laws.Earlier this month, state senators and representatives from Miami-Dade filed a bill that includes 21 reforms to Chapter 718 of the Florida statutes. The reforms seek to correct gaps in the laws and establish criminal penalties for some irregularities in the administratio..>> view originalFour Reasons Miami's First Hurricane Under Donald Trump Will Be ...
Sunday, March 12, 2017 at 8 a.m. Donald Trump may in fact hate brown and Latino people so much that he's now hell-bent on unleashing a record-breaking hurricane on South Florida, some sort of biblical wall of water that can carry "criminals" and "rapists" and Jorge Ramos and everything else he can't stand about Miami into the sea.
