If, in fact, Sherman doesn’t have the money to spend on a payroll topping the current $47 million - and if his ownership partners tell him they don’t want him asking them for their money - Marlins fans deserve to know. (The original Sherman/Derek Jeter investment documents in 2016, obtained by The Miami Herald, said there would be no cash calls with the team’s minority owners, of which there are believed to be at least 15. But Sherman has always declined to discuss or verify that publicly, as if it would jeopardize national security.) If Sherman’s master plan is to save money now by fielding by far the cheapest team in the sport, but squirreling away cash to spend when some of these prospects are big-league ready and the team is closer to contention, tell your fan base. It’s really the least you can do.

I agree with the article's overall message......but that said, I wouldn't even believe this line either, because they said that when they bought the team, and absolutely refused to spend anything after 2 different playoff years. If those aren't times to spend more/add players, when is?
Also, it's annoying that media is only waking up now.......this has been an issue for years now under Bruce, but I guess better late than never.
