December 10, 200520 yr It costs the Marlins FO about $250,000 a year to field the Mermaids. Who here expects that we'll be seeing them next year. I'll make the first vote. No:( . . . "It's not personal...it's just business"
December 10, 200520 yr According to the invitation to the Season Ticket holder's holiday party the Mermaids will be in attendance. So far they are still there. But these are the girls from last year, so it is completely conceivable a decision will be made to either reduce the number or drop them altogether.
December 10, 200520 yr NOOOO, anything but the memairds, this is ridiculous, I won't sit around the dugout anymore now! I always look forward to see them dance right there in my face, hehehe, oh what a day! NO MORE WALKING THEM TO THEIR CARS!!!
December 10, 200520 yr That's a cheerleader squad of girls less that Miggy can bang. He'll be pissed.
December 10, 200520 yr Author wow 250,000 for cheerleaders no wonder why Loria is broke I have no idea how much the Marlins pay the Mermaids. In figuring $250000 I figured that there are about 25 Mermaids. I figured they get paid $125 per game. I don't think you can get the local talent from Tootsie's to work 5 hours for $125. That would work out to $253125 not including uniforms and anything else. . . Maybe they'll start a new deal with the Mermaids that would cost Loria nothing. Let them work A la Carte. Sit next to a fan for an inning for $20. Or if the seat next to the fan was occupied they could sit in the same seat with the fan. They could also strike there own extra deals with the fans, depending on what the fan wanted. Maybe they could open up a Mermaid Champagne Room.
December 10, 200520 yr unless they got a raise last season, they make about $2000 per season, i believe. which is pennies. oh, and let's not forget that they're sponsored.
December 10, 200520 yr :blink: $250k for the Mermaids!!! WOW :o this may be the worst marketed championship team in sports history!!! :banghead
December 10, 200520 yr Meh, the B squad at Tootsies is local, likely available, and much cheaper :lol
