Not only did he get the state to pay for most of his brand new stadium, but when everyone was whingeing and complaining that he offloaded those players like Johnson, Boni and Reyes he was able to see that they were rubbish while everyone was complaining...
Look at what they are doing at the Jays....The Jays have only 8 more wins than the Mariners but it is costing him significantly less.
Truly a good businessman.

problem is MLB should not be treated as a for profit business venture. Miami is lucking out that Johnson is a shadow of his former self. remember, they also gave up reyes, buehrle and bonifacio (who had extreme value at the time). it's like lucking out that dontrelle willis ended up sucking. they give up too much and don't get enough in return. like the sanchez/infant trade. they got back turner and Brantley. 2 productive pieces for 2 prospects doesn't fill holes. it only maintains the status quo and that's assuming the prospects you get in return pan out. Brantley looks like he sucks so they gave up 2 for 1. not going to get better that way. the hanley trade brought back one pitcher. not enough imo. the only thing loria is good at is being a shyster. screw that guy. I hope he walks in on his wife in a gang bang
