    Art Of The Deal Gone Wrong

    By S.L. Price

    Less than eight months after he opened a stadium built in his own image and at a taxpayer expense that will eventually exceed $2 billion, Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria green-lighted yet another stripping down of the franchise. He insists it's all in the name of winning.

    Yahoo! reporter says Marlins threw him out of the clubhouse after asking some players about attendance. Marlins also supposedly threw out some fans who were protesting.

    Yeah, I saw something on Twitter about Eric Adelson being tossed for asking players about the attendance...

    Well that's terrible. Now the attendance will be one fewer.

    Let me take a wild guess that the other reporters mildly protested and went back to their jobs.

    Expect a column or two will be penned, and maybe a joint statement.
