Seems like the Marlins will stop hiring mainly former Yankees and now will hire former Cardinals. Jon Jay is a Miami native, so that will definitely add an extra 2-3k per game in the stands.

And he went to UM so every night should be a UM night and get 30,000.

And then every night that is a UM night, Paul Severino can remind us that Marlins Park is built on the grounds of the old Orange Bowl. And Rod Allen can tell the same story about how he used to watch the Hurricanes play at the Orange bowl in 1978. How fun would that be?
December 15, 20223 yr So what if the Marlins just sign all Cuban fans from the surrounding area and trade off all their actual MLB players? Bruce could pay everyone league minimum and every game would be sold out.

On one hand, 30k a night, even if we're losing could mean Bruce might spend money to win since people are showing up. On the other hand, 30k a night means they're supporting his cheapness, meaning he could potentially view it as "look, the people are coming even if we lose, why do I need to spend?"

I'm going with the second one there..... In all seriousness I truly wish some random season or two that fans would show up in droves all year long to see what happens if Bruce's favorite excuse to not spend would no longer be valid. I'm betting he STILL wouldn't spend enough to get out of the bottom 5-10 in payroll.

Bruce could pay everyone league minimum and every game would be sold out. And probably that team would still not do much worse than the current Marlins team. Who knows how many pro level caliber baseball players might live in the Miami area, but because of real life situations like maybe having a new family or having to get a job to support family back home, they had to give up their dream and get a regular job. Maybe there’s like 2-3 people at least, in that situation. At least would pitch the same or better than Chi Chi. 😂
December 15, 20223 yr Yea I would hate to give Bruce increased attendance out of nowhere but it would be interesting to see how he responds if it did happen. We came out, now what?

I'm betting you he would say the team is so far in the red it will take ten years of high attendance to finally make up the difference and give them a shot at the premier FA class
