With the great 60,000 plus crowds we have had so far in the playoffs,

with hopefully more to come this week, at much higher ticket prices,

will this extra income help the Front Office to keep this team together?

Particularly the likes of Pudge, who seems to be the real heart beat of the

team now and while he will demand top dollar in free agency, he seems to

be enjoying himself so much, that maybe he'll accept a slight discount to

remain a Marlin? Or is that just wishful thinking? Obviously some of the

team will move on, like Lee, now that Conine is signed on for the next two

years, but it would be great if we could keep the core of the team like

Pudge and Lowell on board, to build on his year's great success, in the

coming seasons.

Yes, the Marlins will get about 25% from the first four games, but the Marlins and the other team will split 50/50 for the extra games 5-7 if played.

How come the marlins only get 25%?

25 % goes to the other team and the other 50% is split between the players' and umpires' unions as well as the other owners.
