Seabiscuit1908
Bobby Axelrod? Can someone please pee on Creston? I think he has a thing for heels.
Phattey
Lavar ball told me he already bought the Marlins

” bush has been on the horn with possible co-investors this week” I like the horn and not the phone. I think I’m going to go call people via a horn

Manfred bidding up the price for Loria? I would have thought a more appropriate response would have been “we don’t comment on the confidential process” but maybe Manfred figures if he can get Loria more money, it raises the bar for every other team. Activist Commissioner in the mold of Selig?
sufferforsnakes
What did you expect? Manfred’s a lawyer, and lawyers are destroying the game.

Manfred: Still Two Bidders Chasing Marlins’
I personally don’t care who wins the bidding for the Marlins
Even if it’s the Jolly Green Giant, who is alleged to have ‘thrown up’ inside and all over Marlins Park
What I want to see is the 515 million (cost of Marlins Park) immediately paid back
I would LOVE to hear someone ask Rob Manfred this
If the Marlins are going to be sold for 1.2 Billion, 515 million should be given back to Miami-Dade County and their taxpayers!!!!!!!
We’ll see what kind of Commissioner, Leader, and Person Rob Manfred truly is!!!!

Although I’m 100 percent with you on this comment… Manfred serves at the pleasure of corporate elitist American which makes the reimbursement highly unlikely to happen. Sad. I guess the “bed tax” that Loria stressed while campaigning to get the funding from The Miami-Dade county paid off successfully… he’s walking with at least a billion dollars
Lefty_Orioles_Fan
Well, then the taxpayers should lean on Loria and Manfred.
I am willing to bet knowing Loria (or how Loria is) he orchestrated this.
He should only get what the actual team is worth and nothing more
If he does get more it’s an infamita!!!!
CursedRangers
Totally agree. This and every other city that keeps getting fleeced by sport owners. Taxpayers cough up hundreds of millions only to have the owners walk away with insane profits. It’s past absurd.
GarryHarris
I want Loria out of MLB but I don’t want him to walk away as if he won the lotto. There is likely only one half interested party and MLB and Loria are treating them as a mark in a con game. Wait Loria Out.
mrkinsm
He’s 76 years old, one way or another he’ll be out soon enough.

If Jeter is part of this the Marlins will be back in pinstripe uniforms. But I hope the purchasers move the team to Montreal. Then let Tampa move to Miami to become the Florida Rays.
I agree, every penny of the sale should be put toward paying off that stadium before Loria sees anything. Loria will be out but another owner will do the same thing down the road.
ReverieDays
Montreal had a team and didn’t care enough to keep them there. They don’t deserve another team to ignore.
tylerall5
Why not just save the process and move the rays to Montreal?

So I don’t know enough about this but, why does everyone hate Loria? Not that I do or anything, I just don’t know why everyone hates him. Is it just the monstrosity of a park? Other than that the Marlins seem to be doing fairly well, but I know that’s not really the owner’s doing.
CompanyAssassin
Not that I like him*. I never finished that sentence properly.
baseballisdead
the park is wonderful. I love it there. I love the home run sculpture, its beautiful.
I hate loria because 1. he ripped off taxpayers for the ballpark, 2. he never really invested in winning, and 3. look up the video of when Muhammad ali threw the first pitch at marlins park. I felt sick watching that. He is such a fraud of a human being and you can see it in his body language.
I hate that I love this team. I was 12 for the first WS win so ive never known anything in baseball except random shots of huge success followed by firesales and a stadium full of phillies and mets fans. I dont care who the next owner is as long as they give a damn about winning. Anything but Loria and his imp david samson.
reflect
He’s a scum bag owner who only wants profit and doesn’t care about baseball or Florida
mike156
I’m wondering if Loria is also negotiating with the state and city to get a “good riddance” payment…it’s got to be worth something to the taxpayer just to fumigate.
GarryHarris
There’s too many reasons to list. He was a minority owner of the group that acquired the Expos, he wrested control from his partners and charged with RICO act violations in the process. After he took control, His business practices caused Labbatts to pull out. He shook down MLB to take the Expos off his hands and award him the franchise in Miami… On and on. This guy is a shady dealing, blue collar slum lord.
chuckymorris
I spit out my water because I thought that said Mitt Romney. I was like how are multiple failed candidates trying to buy the Marlins lmao
baseballisdead
because not many people are rich enough to buy both a sports franchise and the government

Jeb!

This is not a socialist country. Guess what. The voters spoke and they got a stadium. It is not Loria’s responsibility to pay off the voters stupid and self inflected debt.
Look at stupid California voters. They just raised the taxes on gas (now the highest in the nation) and raised yearly car registrations to the same. It was suppose to go to repair roads and now it’s discovered to go to everywhere but their. We get what we pay for.
On the other hand, Los Angeles went two decades without the NFL because no public funding is allowed in LA for sports.
That’s one thing other cities can learn.
thegreatcerealfamine
There’s absolutely nothing to learn from LA on anything!!!
