December 6, 201510 yr Nope, I checked but nobody I know was aware of who it was ok,at lease we knew somebody was interested in this team.
December 6, 201510 yr ok,at lease we knew somebody was interested in this team. There's probably a bunch of businessmen, in and out of baseball, who would love to attempt to put out this dumpster fire.
December 6, 201510 yr There's probably a bunch of businessmen, in and out of baseball, who would love to attempt to put out this dumpster fire. The reality is no matter who it is, the fans will be bitching within 3 years
December 6, 201510 yr The reality is no matter who it is, the fans will be bitching within 3 years Absolutely agree. It's the nature of the game. The problems may be different ones but people will still bitch.
December 6, 201510 yr The reality is no matter who it is, the fans will be bitching within 3 years mostly due to the team being located in miami, the most fickle sports town in America.
December 6, 201510 yr I'll take pretty much anyone at this point....there are few that would be worse.
December 7, 201510 yr Id take a billionaire Vince as owner before another season with Loria. Vince McMahon??? There are worse things than Loria
December 7, 201510 yr Vince McMahon??? There are worse things than Loria Vince McMahon would be better than Loria. He isn't cheap. He'd probably overspend.
December 7, 201510 yr Vince McMahon would be better than Loria. He isn't cheap. He'd probably overspend. He would be fixated on making Tom Koehler the face of the franchise, to the point where he destroys the team by making him our 'ace' and starting him every 3 days.
December 7, 201510 yr McMahon likes big guys... he'd make Stanton the face of the franchise so no problems there.
December 7, 201510 yr why we hate Loria? because he's fat because he has managed to make baseball a joke in Miami because he's(Marlins) the laughing stock for all 29 MLB teams because no one respect him as owner or human being because he's the worst owner in baseball history next to Marge Schott
December 7, 201510 yr McMahon likes big guys... he'd make Stanton the face of the franchise so no problems there. He is also entirely out of touch. He'd make Bour the guy over Stanton
December 8, 201510 yr I'm saving one for the future for when "because he traded away Jose Fernandez". Right next to the "traded away Miguel Cabrera" one.
December 10, 201510 yr I have a new reason...Nats going hard after Jason Heyward. I dont care about him much as a player but ANOTHER 100 million+ contract by the nats. Really sick of this to be honest. He doesnt truly care about compete. ugh sorry. I honestly just got a sick feeling in my stomach when Heyman announced the nats as the mystery team.
December 11, 201510 yr So you hate Loria because he doesn't hand out multiple 100 million plus contracts?
December 11, 201510 yr So you hate Loria because he doesn't hand out multiple 100 million plus contracts? me too.
December 11, 201510 yr If Loria still don't spend big after we got the money from new TV deal and ballpark naming,then it would be a perfect reason for MLB to force him to sell the team.
December 11, 201510 yr So you hate Loria because he doesn't hand out multiple 100 million plus contracts? No. I think my point was misguided due to my frustration. What I meant was that it's just another instance of cheapskatery. Last year it was Scherzer with a huge deal. This year it has to be assumed that they are willing to sign heyward to a huge deal. They have already signed or acquired 3 decent bullpen arms and the front office is left to pick the scraps and expected to be happy about it. It just sucks. Sorry I am being a bit of a hitch. I am fighting the flu and I feel like it's winning.
December 11, 201510 yr Spending a lot of money doesn't guarantee success I'd like to see the Marlins spend money in either player development or the major league roster. You kinda have to spend in at least one to win though.
December 11, 201510 yr I'd like to see the Marlins spend money in either player development or the major league roster. You kinda have to spend in at least one to win though. Couldn't have said it better. But I guess it's ok we traded for the pitching whisperer.
December 11, 201510 yr I hate him because his name is too similar to the Philadelphia Eagles owner, Jeffrey Lurie. So every time the Eagles do something boneheaded and they talk about their owner, I think Mr. Loria has done something that will be ridiculed. CHANGE YOUR DAMN NAME!
December 11, 201510 yr Spending a lot of money doesn't guarantee success yeah but spending money on a real analytics department and actually listening to that department greatly increases the chance of success
