For Sale: Used Miami Marlins merchandise. [View all]

MLB approves sale of Marlins to a group fronted by Jeter even though they can't afford it. Jeter gives away top talent because he can not afford payroll then complains about attendance. They also ditched long time broadcasters and team reps from the team's few glory days.

We haven't made it to the Winter Meetings and they've released Ichiro and traded Dee Gordon and Giancarlo Stanton for nothing. Yelich, Ozuna, and Prado are still being shopped around.

I'm out. I've just freed up 150+ evenings and hundreds of dollars.

And yes, I know how baseball works, but this is a failed mode that will see the team moved in a few seasons at this rate. We've just been "Major Leagued"!
