That was basically a complete accident. They have, in my opinion, the worst owner in baseball, Loria, who is committed to spending the absolute minimum so that he can capitalize on the revenue sharing system within the league. The Marlins payroll is 14 million, total. I think the MLB needs to take a really serious look at having a salary floor next time their CBA is up for renewal.
