“He’s pulled off a series of shrewd and increasingly profitable business moves, exploiting all the advantages afforded to [MLB’s owners]”
Forbes confirms what @jonahkeri wrote: “There’s Shrewd, There’s Genius, Then There’s Marlins Owner Jeffrey Loria”
Thought about organizing a group to raise $600 million to buy the Marlins but I still don’t think Loria would sell.
