Jeffrey Loria did a number on the Expos, continues to be one of the most controversial owners in the game of baseball.

Jeffrey Loria did a number on the Expos back int he day, and continues to be one of the most controversial owners in the game of baseball. The Miami fanbase had been promised the club would compete in the New Marlins Ball Park. After a $118 Team Salary in 2012, the management pulled the plug on that active roster. While the transactions didn’t look good for the PR side, the operations portion of it has seemed to work out.  The New York Art Dealer has pledged to spend more money in coming years, however only time will tell.  The franchise has 2 superstar youngsters in Giancarlo Stanton and Jose Fernandez.

The Marlins took a lot of flak for the big selloff almost 2 years ago.

In the previous winter, Miami set out to dominate the NL East in the 1st season of the New Marlins Ball Park.  To do this, they allocated a $118 MIL payroll.

They inked Jose Reyes (6 YRs/$106 MIL), Mark Buehrle (4 YRs/$54 MIL), Heath Bell (3YRs/$27 MIL), and the club took on Carlos Lee midway through the year ($9 MIL) commitment.

The Fish flung down the standings in the 2nd half, and ended with a 69 – 93 record, and Ozzie Guillen was fired after inking a 4 Year Managerial deal prior to that campaign.

The club struggles with injuries to key players and never really jelled.

Miami decided that they were in  big trouble with how the current roster was situated, and were carrying an enormous payroll, and the threat of dwindling attendance the following year, caused them to make a block buster deal with Toronto.

Without detailing this too much, Miami traded Reyes, Buerhle, Josh JohnsonEmilio Bonifacio and John Buck to the Toronto Blue Jays.

In turn, the organization received Jake MarisnickAdeiny HechavarriaHenderson AlvarezJustin NicolinoAnthony DeSclafaniYunel Escobar and Jeff Mathis.

The Miami Marlins Payroll In 2014, Organizational Affiliates, Prospects, Depth Charts, (MLB + MiLB)

The Miami Marlins might have exited out of their plan to compete last season, however the talent wasn't going to cut it - and they were able to restock the system with some talent, despite not having an chance to compete in 2013.  Hopefully the ownership will buck up some cash when the team improves a little.

The Miami Marlins are known for doing a gazillion transactions throughout the year.  Jeffrey Loria and CO. are always looking for ways to save dollars, become younger, and fill the Minor League System with players.

Since the team has won 2 World Series it is time in the MLB (21 Years), some people are even willing to give the franchise some credit, although most of that was attributed to the previous ownership regimes.

They are loaded with a multitude of young players that are highly touted and talented.  The biggest question to ask is how they are going to move forward with Giancarlo Stanton?

2014 will be an interesting campaign for Miami.  They have to hope that a lot of their several young players can mature and prosper, as they are in the same Division as the Washington Nationals and the Atlanta Braves.
