The Marlins are going to cut payroll

Marlins Miami new logo
Another year, another plan! The Marlins are going to cut payroll. From the same article that brought us the Loria-Gonzalez dustup:

After going “all in” this season with a franchise-record $95 million roster payroll, the Miami Marlins will likely scale back in 2013 to a more moderate figure, somewhere in the $70 million to $80 million range, sources said.

Multiple sources said the team lost money this season due largely to a high payroll and lower-than-anticipated attendance at the new ballpark. As a result, the Marlins will not be repeating last year’s buying binge, when they spent more than $190 million on free agents.


You know the mark of a solid organization: doing something different every single year.
