Well, either way, he didn't own the Marlins in 1997.

No doesn't look like it. I am reading about his history, I can't remember how the whole Expos thing went down.

but at least back then they were more up front about who they were. now with the new tax payer stadium in place it's really a sham.

I think that's a pretty safe bet.

Did see this "Huizenga currently owns 5% of the Miami Dolphins, as well as 5% of Sun Life Stadium in Miami Gardens." so that should be a decent amount.

It was definitely a salary purge but from a baseball perspective not THAT bad. The 2 shortstops are solid, above average players, Alveraz has talent and could become a very good pitcher, Mathias is a decent catcher that handles the staff well and the 2 prospects have upside and were very highly thought of.

he sold the marketplace a bill of goods to get the stadium built. the guillen thing to start the season sure didn't help.

Yup that part was not cool, but it has always been a tough market. They were 18th WITH a new stadium and all the hype and new players. They were 28th the year before. With all the money they spent it went up about 8000 per game between 2011 and 2012.

#JoshJohnson's agent Matt Sosnick wouldn't be surprised if his client gets moved again!

I was right , I think they will move one of the 2 pitchers for some prospects and with the money they save get a free agent like Marcom or A Sanchez.
