I am pretty sure the next players contract will have some sort of team minimums to prevent tanking like the Astros did for a couple of years.
I don't have a Problem with Teams tanking for prospects and as a side effect lowering the payroll but if Teams leave Surplus value on the table and put up with mediocre prospects to save more Money that sucks.
I know the new owners inherited debts by loria but MLB should have never allowed that and force loria or the new owner to pay for the debts without future payroll implications. loria got 800M for the Team (excluding the debts which was paid by the new owner) so he easily could have paid for the debts and still make a Profit from selling the Team.
the marlins Revenue won't exactly increase with that crap product and if the new ownership wants to consolidate the debts via saving personell costs that will take at least a decade.
would have probably been easier to contract the marlins and start a new Franchise (maybe even in another City).
Dont forget that MLB at one time were part owners.
I think that they just wanted him to go away.
