Cheap Miami Marlins could be examined for a lack of expenditure

The Miami Marlins must be baseball internet’s favorite team because they don’t spend money.

For the entire offseason, fans have been furious with the Los Angeles Dodgers for trying to win by signing good players. The Marlins have done the exact opposite. 

It was reported last year that both the Marlins and A’s needed to spend tens of millions of dollars more in luxury tax payroll or risk the Major League Baseball Player’s Association filing a grievance over their lack of compliance. While the A’s did at least pay lip service to competing and spending money, signing Luis Severino and extending Lawrence Butler and Brent Rooker, the Marlins have effectively spent nothing. 

Per Ken Rosenthal at The Athletic, Miami is around $20 million under the required limit, with no end to their lack of spending in sight.

Miami Marlins show how advantageous it is to be cheap

While the MLBPA past submitted the Marlins of expenses against the Marlins, they had practically no punishment. The team did not comment on Rosenthal, but it is clear that the Marlins are not really important to adhere to the rules or even to pretend to find a competitive team.

Miami is expected to accommodate sales of 70 million US dollars, and her salary statement is only slightly higher than that. A probable trade of Star Pitcher Sandy Alcántara will certainly take this number even lower.

The Marlins are a joke and the fans and the league let them get through with them.

In San Diego, the Padres spent hundreds of million dollars for the construction of a squad occupied by star. They were rewarded with visitor numbers and massive increases in the income.

In a much larger market, however, the Marlins did not spend anything and came in ten million revenue participation with practically zero criticism.

Not to spend a better team is baseball. Apparently it is always better not to try it.
