If he means they have a set amount of money that they want to spend on the 2021 payroll and that Contreras would be an issue relative to that then that's a different story because many teams have "little financial room" when it comes to 2021.

What you have to do is pick a lane. That was the problem with how Loria ran the team. They would have a fire sale and start a rebuild, and then not even 2 years in, start adding pieces and trading prospects when the team performs slightly better than expected. You either stay the course or go big. Half assing it is not an option. 4 Link to post Share on other sites

You either stay the course or go big. Half assing it is not an option. Exactly this. I’m sure at this point the FO has a pretty good idea on who the core of our farm system is, and a handful of prospects that they would be willing to deal. Whether due to being disappointed in their development, culture fit, or an under the radar guy being just as good. It’s about maximizing the return on those prospects not just for this year but also the next 2/3 years as well. This is the rays mold to a tee. The rays aren’t afraid to trade prospects at all. Heck, we have Jesus Sanchez in our system now. It’s that they evaluate their system as good as anyone, and each year there’s a guy or two they’re willing to part with. They are usually right Edited January 12 by marlins_09 4 Link to post Share on other sites

The narrative has been instilled mainly because of Loria. He dismantled the Expos and nearly did the same in Florida. Do you believe that the Marlins needed to be moved to Miami? I don't, the attendance numbers are relatively the same. Profits don't come overnight, and it will sustain itself overtime like an investment. At least that's what I believe. Mainly through history teams who have been under the narrative of financial responsibilities have never spent to get out of the restriction poverty. Look at A's and the Angels. One team spends and the other team doesn't and they both play in the same state. I'm not advocating what is the right way to build a team because you can win or lose either way Link to post Share on other sites

So then this is almost PR to help keep the payroll low and in turn keep them more lucrative? Or are you saying this is same outside narrative that has always been built around the team?
