MLB Needs to take away the Marlins from Jeffery Loria
Posted by tduecen on 8/5/15 at 5:12 pm62

When the Marlins demoted starting center fielder Marcell Ozuna on July 5, it made some sense. Sure, they had no one to replace him, but he was in a lengthy slump and 10-14 days in Triple-A might have been just the thing to restore his confidence at the plate.
quote:
And it was. Ozuna hit .325 with two homers and four doubles in his first 10 games back in the minors. But he wasn’t recalled.
quote:
A while the Marlins play Christian Yelich out of position in center and Cole Gillespie, Ichiro Suzuki and recently Derek Dietrich in the corners. Ichiro played in 24 games and got 77 at-bats last month, hitting .195/.250/.234.
quote:
Ozuna has kept producing through all of this, hitting .314/.372/.558 in 24 games in Triple-A
quote:
Marlins have reasons to keep Ozuna down. Financial reasons. Money reasons. Jeffrey Loria reasons. See, Ozuna entered the 2015 season with one year and 153 days of service time, practically assuring that he would be super-two arbitration eligible if he remained in the majors. That’s not going to happen now.
quote:
Ozuna’s continued presence in Triple-A is all about saving Loria a buck. His free agency timetable hasn’t changed, but losing out on that fourth year of arbitration will probably cost him $5 million-$10 million over these next few years.
quote:
Ozuna is a Scott Boras client

Robbing the public blind. The whole story behind it is appalling actually

Yes, him and Selig pulled that shady as shite deal where he basically traded the Expos for the Marlins the year before I believe. I'll look it up
And they won the World Series the next year. This was during the 02 season I want to say. His partners in the Expos ownership filed a RICO case against him and MLB
quote:
In 2002, as part of an orchestrated move with Bud Selig and then-Marlins owner John W. Henry, Loria sold the Expos to "Expos Baseball, LP," a partnership of the other 29 major league clubs, for $120 million. In effect, the Expos were sold to the commissioner's office. Henry then sold the Marlins to Loria for $158.5 million, including a $38.5 million no-interest loan from MLB. The deal was approved by the other owners before Loria and Henry even signed a contract, and paved the way for Henry to buy the Boston Red Sox.[10] Loria moved the Expos' entire front office staff, on-field staff, office equipment and computer equipment to Florida.[11] MLB's plans to contract the Expos and Minnesota Twins failed, though, as the Twins were compelled through legal action to fulfill the terms of their lease at the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome.
And they won the World Series the next year. This was during the 02 season I want to say. His partners in the Expos ownership filed a RICO case against him and MLB

He trades Stanton eventually in order to save a buck. He makes moves to look like he cares then sells off everything at a moments notice. His frickin GM is the manager, such a clueless orginzation

yea I don't think Dan Jennings ever played in the majors

For sure. It will be interesting to see how he handles Fernandez because Fernandez is a Cuban immigrant to South Florida. Trading him away would alienate the only fans they have

Yea that will be interesting

I really want to check out the new ballpark, but I can't give money to that POS owner. Frick him.
re: MLB Needs to take away the Marlins from Jeffery LoriaPosted by tduecen on 8/5/15 at 5:27 pm to ShaneTheLegLechler
Fernandez is a Boras client as well, I hate Boras but I hope he rapes Loria

Can the player request a special arbitration hearing?

A deal with the City of Miami and Miami-Dade County was eventually approved and the Marlins agreed to contribute $155 million toward the construction of a new retractable roof stadium. They were also made responsible for any cost overruns for the stadium, set in the Little Havana section of Miami. Taxpayers from Miami-Dade County and the City of Miami are required to pay at least $2.6 billion to pay off the bonds sold to finance the construction. The Marlins get 100% of all revenues from the stadium. The first Major League Baseball game in the new stadium was against the 2011 World Series Champion St. Louis Cardinals on April 4, 2012.
After a disappointing 2012 season in which the Marlins finished last in their division, Loria made a twelve-player trade with the Toronto Blue Jays as part of an effort to pare down the team's payroll. This led which local and national sportswriters and Marlins fans to question Loria's stated intentions of building a successful franchise, while simultaneously demanding Miami taxpayers' dollars to pay for most of the ballpark's construction and maintenance.[18] Amid threats of boycotting the 2013 season from South Florida residents, politicians, and sportswriters, Loria defended trading away the stars. He claimed that despite the Marlins' hefty payroll in 2012, the organization was not winning and needed "to take a new course" in winning again.[19]
Loria is considered a "meddlesome" owner.[20] In April 2013, Loria reportedly had Ricky Nolasco and José Fernández switch the games of a doubleheader in which they were scheduled to pitch, violating clubhouse protocol.[21] In July 2013, hitting coach Tino Martinez, who had been handpicked by Loria, resigned following allegations that he verbally and physically assaulted players, who included Chris Valaika. When the organization considered promoting Valaika to the majors in August when Plácido Polanco was placed on the disabled list, Loria vetoed the transaction, and the team promoted Gil Velazquez instead
