So, what, you’re saying that getting a new stadium at the expense of millions of others isn’t enough for Loria to become a respectable, legitimate baseball owners? Typical garbage owner actions from the worst of the worst.

He used more tax payer dollars than he was supposed to to build that green thing sitting in the middle of Miami.
cubs223425
Oh, I care nothing for how he spent the money. That he lied to get the money is my issue.
cubs223425
I’d love for whomever gave me a negative vote to post why. I want to hear someone’s defense of Loria.

Wow, the Marlins owners really ARE just con artists, huh?
start_wearing_purple
Is anyone really surprised?
Karkat
I imagine Mssrs Reyes and Buehrle might be.
start_wearing_purple
Why? Both are getting paid large amounts of money, knew the reputation and the history of the Marlins ownership, and will likely be on new teams within a couple of years.
Karkat
Presumably when they signed on they assumed Miami was on an upward trend. Reyes, at least, probably could’ve played the market a lot more than he did. Buehrle may not have been able to get that kind of money elsewhere, though. But I feel like he’s getting to the point where winning might be more important?
start_wearing_purple
As I recall the Marlins were vehemently against offering Reyes an kind of no trade clause, Reyes had to be a little suspicious. As for Buhrele, he already has his ring so I’m guessing money is the more important issue.

hooray for revenue sharing!

Fi-re sale! Fi-re sale!

I say “56.” That is the number of balls in the bag the Sox will get for Beckett. Addition by subtraction? Wonder how much they’ll have to booty up in payroll to dump him?
Gothapotamus
Now if only the Marlins could find somebody to dump Reyes’ salary to, they’d be set.

Move the Marlins……to Disney World

If the Braves could have him at about $10MM/yr for ’13 and ’14, I could see it working. He’d probably be much more effective in the NL, as well.

I really hope you mean Josh Johnson and not Josh Beckett. I’m giving you the benefit of the doubt.

Beckett would be a pretty good pitcher in the NL, a la AJ Burnett, it just seems like there’s no consistency with him at all. He looks like an ace for one season, then takes the next year off. He did not deserve that kind of deal with his track record. Theo certainly left the Red Sox new staff with a huge amount of unmovable players.
Chris Vinnit
Of course Philly is shopping Pence more aggressively. They’re looking for multiple high quality pieces in return and it’s finally dawning on their delusional GM that you aren’t getting that for a declining rent-a-player. Victorino is a Youk, they’ll be lucky to get a similar return on him. Pence is their only guy of real value.
Chris Waters
Marlins intend to CUT payroll? They get something like 40 million from baseball in luxury tax revenue sharing every year. They get tv deal money.
New stadium or not, baseball will never be good in Miami under Loria. It is time for Selig to force a sale.
