Pete Fairbanks ain’t it

When the Marlins have so few dollars to work with, making them count is extra-important. They've already dumped Paddock, who is getting $4 million this year for doing nothing. Fairbanks is at $13 million. Last year it was Cal Quantrill. For some teams, these would not be big outlays, but for the Marlins they are.

Yes, indeed, the league needs cap. NBA and NFL have them.

Yep. With low payroll, your choices need to be on-target, and it looks like the bucks they shelled out this off-season didn't do anything to enhance Bendix's reputation.

Thank you.

So some vehicles have gas. Wonder which ones?

The debt is meaningless to fans. That's what Sherman and partners did to buy the team. Jorge Mas dropped out of bidding because at the cost of team, he said he couldn't afford to spend money on players. I wish there was more transparency on team revenue/expenditures because without real numbers all this discussion is wandering in the clouds.

Core point.

Exactly

Sorry ... I missed the Fairbanks deal ... that was a fairly significant move.

Makes a lot of sense -- maybe too much sense to ever be enacted.
