After making the postseason last year, the Miami Marlins seem to be rebuilding, again.

The Fish traded back-to-back reigning batting champion Luis Arraez after getting off to a 9-24 start – they are now 11-32.

It's hardly the first time the Marlins have been rebuilding in their brief history (since 1993), but now, it seems like fans have really had enough.

A group of fans protested against team owner Bruce Sherman and what seemingly is the direction of the franchise.

"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 Friday's 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."

Arraez hit an MLB-leading .354 last season during his first year with the Marlins, helping them to an 84-win season.

In recent years, they traded Giancarlo Stanton (who had just won the NL MVP), Christian Yelich (who then won back-to-back MVPs), Marcell Ozuna, Pablo Lopez (ironically, for Arraez), J.T. Realmuto, and other stars.
