Wells Dusenbury, Marlins beat reporter for the Sun Sentinel, joins the show for an extended interview on the inner workings of the franchise and the factors affecting long-term success on and off the field (19:28). Dusenbury is celebrating one full year on the Marlins beat, so he reflects on his most impactful reporting and how the grind of a MLB season compares to his expectations coming into the gig (42:13).
