Do you think that once again they will come out ahead in this deal while saving millions in payroll? If so, then why aren't more teams trying this approach?

will see if they actually come out ahead in this but it has worked in the past for them, The reason I think more teams don't do this is, look at the fan base the marlins have , they have no attendance during this whole rebuilding time. not to mention what fan wants to root for a team that has players they can never get attached to because they will be gone in a couple of years so they have one of the worst attendance numbers in baseball for that reason

I am sure the Marlins would rather keep all their good young talent and build their team with this core group rather than unload them for young prospects. When you keep bringing in prospects you are always some years away from being competitive all at the expense of the fans. I my opinion this is not a way to run a franchise, the fans deserve better.

Loria is a piece of sh*t. The commerce change into probable a sturdy flow, yet Marlins followers nonetheless have a valid gripe. The Marlins were inexpensive for years, no longer to point the placed up-international sequence hearth revenues. The Miami Marlins were meant to be diverse, with the recent style, new uniforms, and fancy new stadium. The followers are pissed that this is lower back to the former approaches, or so it type of feels, after in basic terms one season. basically examine out Giancarlo Stanton's comments about the commerce. Marlins followers experience lied to, and really so.

Sure this approach works, but at what expense? You need fans to generate money, but with no big names, you dont get the fans until you start winning. I really do think that more teams should operate this way, but Florida is a bad example, because they cant seem to draw a crowd during their rebuilding years.
There was talk of moving the Marlins to Vegas in the next couple of years, dont know if that still has legs or not, but I would sure be interested in seeing Marlins management operate with a new crowd. Their system works, but will it work in a big market? I dont think so.

It's pretty pathetic really. No they won't come out ahead because the fans are sooner or later going to give up caring. What fans they have left. MLB should strip that city-that state actually-of baseball. Both teams are a joke. They implode that team to cut costs ever 3 years. Any talent they have they trade-what's the point of having a team? It's almost shocking to think they have won 2 World Series Titles in the last 10 years-actually the most successful team in the National League in the last 13-14 years if you look at World Series Titles. It's clear that Florida cannot and does not want to support MLB teams-and who can blame them with the crap product these owners give them.

The Marlins are smart and have great scouts. They got great player in return for losing great players. The problem is how can the Marlins expect to have fans when they ship off fan favorites every single year. I don't see how one could be a Marlin fan and I understand why last year the average attendance was 10 thousandand why this year it will be 4 thousand. The Marlins will devopl the stars they got into all stars and right after they bloom and are at the top of their game, they will get rid of them.

Marlins fans will be happy 2-3 years from now. You are getting blue-chip talent.

you idiot (the guy before me), the marlins are doing this because they are trying to save money for a baseball stadium, and the same thing goes for the one that said that they are more interested in making money than winning ball games, dumbasses

The most bizarre things is that one the "prospects" they got for Cabrera is actually OLDER than Cabrera.
