they are fire selling for a couple of reasons.

mostly because they didnt get a baseball only facility like they wanted from the city. if they would have gotten a stadium approved, paid for by the tax payers you would have seen a solid nucleous stay in miami for a very long time.

its a shame really that such a franchise has won 2 world series. they obviously have some great baseball minds running the farm systems, etc, but dont have the owner support to continue forward.

the first owner fire sold after they won the world series because dude was a cheapskate. if im not mistaken i think he owned another professional franchise. hyzinga (sp) was his name.
