August 15, 201510 yr Several wealthy people have been inquiring about buying the Marlins, but one of them said Jeffrey Loria conveyed to him that he has no interest in selling at this time, despite Miami having third-longest playoff drought in baseball. From the Miami Herald http://miamiherald.typepad.com/sports-buzz/2015/08/new-stadium-name-coming-loria-rejects-overtures-marlins-issues-heat.html#storylink=addthis
August 15, 201510 yr Why would he sell? He is making so much fucking money on his cash cow known as his baseball team that he runs in a miserly fashion while he swims in his money bin of cash, courtesy of national tv deals and revenue sharing.
August 15, 201510 yr Author He'll sell this off-season. just a gut feeling. I think he won't sell until at least after the 2017 ASG
August 15, 201510 yr I think he won't sell until at least after the 2017 ASG Random question: Will he be involved in the hiring process for the next manager? Or will this be a Samsom/Hill decision. I know he has to sign off.
August 15, 201510 yr Author Random question: Will he be involved in the hiring process for the next manager? Or will this be a Samsom/Hill decision. I know he has to sign off. He'll be involved to some extent but that's a good thing this time around considering his desire to hire a guy with experience
August 15, 201510 yr He'll be involved to some extent but that's a good thing this time around considering his desire to hire a guy with experience So what happens to the guy with experience 50 games in next year in if the team is 6 games under .500?
August 15, 201510 yr Author So what happens to the guy with experience 50 games in next year in if the team is 6 games under .500? I don't know. I don't have any time traveling sources yet
August 15, 201510 yr I don't know. I don't have any time traveling sources yet mine says Samson gets on some stilts and manages the team
August 15, 201510 yr This post is silly. It is well documented many have offered to purchase the and Loria has declined. Remember he has to share the profits if sells prior to 2017. Therefore, don't expect him to sell at any time before the end of 2017.
August 16, 201510 yr TBH, I dont blame Loria. Unless someone offered Dodger money, they I'd think Loria was fucking stupid.
August 16, 201510 yr He'll sell this off-season. just a gut feeling. negative 7 billion chance he sells this team before Marlins Park hosts the All Star game
August 16, 201510 yr Author Who wants to guess what the first thing a new owner would do is? I am guessing either a complete uniform/logo/team color redesign. Or selling naming rights to the stadium. Or going on a whirlwind tour explaining how he/she is the polar opposite of Jeffrey Loria in an attempt to win people over. Or dismantling the home run celebration thing. Or hiring an actual analytic department. Or beefing up scouting both in the states and Latin America, possibly Europe as well. Or quite possibly every single one of these things.
