December 2, 20169 yr Great article from Ken Rosenthal about Loria still trying to contend even after the loss of Jose. I like how Loria isn't swearing we're gonna be great, he's acknowledging it'll be a challenge but that he's committed to trying... http://www.foxsports.com/mlb/story/miami-marlins-jose-fernandez-tragedy-jeffrey-loria-owner-mourn-resilient-compete-rotation-ken-rosenthal-120216
December 2, 20169 yr Loria is a gracious and generous with his money owner. We are very lucky Oh fuck you
December 2, 20169 yr Still think he's willing to go all in this year because he's selling next year. I agree with this.
December 2, 20169 yr Still think he's willing to go all in this year because he's selling next year. Nope. Loria won't spend shit this off season as he plans on owning the team until he dies
December 2, 20169 yr Still think he's willing to go all in this year because he's selling next year. With what assets? Sent from my iPhone using MarlinsBaseball.com mobile app
December 2, 20169 yr *insert obligatory Loria is cheap reply* Money losing franchise Sent from my iPhone using MarlinsBaseball.com mobile app
December 2, 20169 yr With what assets? Sent from my iPhone using MarlinsBaseball.com mobile app By all in, I mean, somehow acquiring another SP and perhaps spending money on a reliever (they are seemingly intrigued by Jensen). Obviously, they are limited in what they can do by the poor farm system...but I think Loria will at least make the attempt to be competitive this year. Hopefully by mid-season there will be news of the team being up for sale....at least that's my dream scenario...
December 3, 20169 yr Nope. Loria won't spend shit this off season as he plans on owning the team until he dies
December 3, 20169 yr Damn if Loria sells next year that would be a miracle. I know Mickey Arison and Mitt Romney both wanted to buy the Marlins at some point (I really hope it's Arison) Sent from my iPhone using MarlinsBaseball.com mobile app
December 4, 20169 yr Why he needs to sell the team ? lost lots of money ? only lost money would force a business people quit from his business,right ? only lost games won't make it happen.
December 4, 20169 yr Loria actually loves baseball and his team. Unfortunately he is his own worst enemy. Shallow pockets and a love of old school Yankees and baseball has caused him to be left behind. He's also old as fuck. As to the "shallow pocket",who knows he's no money to spend or not willing to spend.
December 4, 20169 yr He is regarded as one of if not least wealthiest owners in baseball. Doesn't the mlb check the financial status of Loria when he tried to buy the Marlins ?
December 4, 20169 yr There aren't enough assets to buy to make this team a WS contender. Loria is still cheap. Fluff piece. Trying to contend...wtf does that even mean? Try to get good enough to maybe win games? Meh. We'll be in 4th or 5th by the end of the season. All good. Please sell, Loria. Adiosss. It's what the real world would be, Yankee got Chapman, Dodgers got Jansen, Giants got Melancon, Dodgers got Hill, Mariners got Hammel, We got Loria.
December 4, 20169 yr Why he needs to sell the team ? lost lots of money ? only lost money would force a business people quit from his business,right ? only lost games won't make it happen. Because he's a total failure at running a team. He put the Marlins in the second longest playoff drought. It would be the longest if Dombrowski hadn't put together more than half of the 2003 team.
December 4, 20169 yr Because he's a total failure at running a team. He put the Marlins in the second longest playoff drought. It would be the longest if Dombrowski hadn't put together more than half of the 2003 team. I think hated by the fans wouldn't be the reason Loria wants to sell his team.
December 5, 20169 yr I think hated by the fans wouldn't be the reason Loria wants to sell his team. Totally agree. He is selling because he literally couldn't get another Nickel more from a potential buyer with the current status quo. Why not sell?
