I haven't followed it close enough to know if they are doing anything more than cutting payroll.

I mean, they won the WS not long ago, were fairly competitive last year. Had a good young roster with solid pitching. What are they thinking?

Is this their stragety for the long term? Buy low, sell high? Build up a team for success, sell them off and start over every couple of years.

Maybe thats why they average league-low in attendance. I don't think I would have much patience for this if I were a fan in Miami. The beaches and the wildlife are way too nice there in the summer. :wink:
