Yup. Baseball is struggling. Better change the rules quick before the team in the worst market in the country sells for $2.5B next time.

I became a Marlins fan because of Donnie Baseball, so I'm not completely aware of the Loria situation, but if there truly are fans who have sworn off the Marlins because of him, then I am all for this.
This is a fun young team and deserves fans in the stands! Hopefully Loria being removed out of the equation will bring back those fans who swore off the Marlins, and we can move forward.

Loria screwed over the Expos and was gifted the Marlins for around 150 million by Selig. He then cryed poor mouth time and time again blaming everyone including the city and fans.
I hope to god this goes through, good riddance to one of the worst owners in professional sports. I just hate the fact he made a billion dollars in this transaction. |

Read 'Up Up and Away' by Jonah Keri for a great history of Loria and the Expos. Keri manages to not completely tear him down but it still paints a pretty awful picture.

1.6 billion is way too much for a team with 200 million in revenue and about 16 million in operating income. At this price the Dodger purchase was a steal!

So the Florida tax payers will end up spending near 1.2 Billion dollars in interest alone for the stadium. Source The Real Cost To Miami For Marlins Park Is In The Billions
terrible is all I can say.

And good riddance to David Samson, Loria's obnoxious stepson. The time Ozzie Guillen put in his place was epic.

I believe revenues will go up with a ownership who is committed to the Miami area. Clearly Lurie was in it for the money grab, as Dolphinsdude pointed out. Good riddance to Lurie.

So if the Marlins are worth $1.6 Billion, how much are the Yankees worth? $5-$6 Billion maybe?
This article from last year has them at $3.4 Billion. http://www.forbes.com/teams/new-york-yankees/ I think this sale pushes them a little higher. Quote:

Getting this back on topic:
Michael Stern is the CEO of JDS Development Group, which does construction in New York and Miami. Could this be the mystery man? |

No, they would be players to be named later according to a member here. That's not nearly enough for Quintana, dude's a stud, an ace.

I think I've been a pretty good member on here so i think a ban maybe a little over the top. 2 days suspension, ok, but a ban seems a tad much

Congrats, Marlins fans.
Did the GM finally hire a Manager? (Yeah, I'm way behind on Marlins news.) |

Isn't it disgusting that the city is on the hook for 2.4 billion and this bastard is going to gross 1.4 billion in profit!!
