BUT, if you tell your fans that they cannot spend on free agents because you are LOSING money, then hell ya, you have been lied to! It is one thing to say, 'look, we are spending the money in other areas....scouting, minor leagues, construction cost to the/a new stadium...." Fans with half a brain would accept that. But to blantantly state, 'hey, we cannot spend money on free agents because we are not making money and account afford it.....'..that is BS and a flat out lie. Checkout what Sampson, President of Operations for the Marlins stated yesterday on the Dan LeBetard show:
The Flagship Station for South Florida Sports
On the section that states "790 the Ticket on demand", the first audio is of Sampson. LeBatard was hitting him hard with questions....I was VERY shocked that he did not throw softball questions, especially since 790 the Ticket is the broadcast station for Marlin games.
