08:16 AM ET 11.26 | If the Marlins, with their blockbuster deal still fresh in the minds of many, are looking for a place to trade Giancarlo Stanton, too, they are likely to have plenty of options. It would be a coup for whichever of the 25 teams (I'm exaggerating) that would or have bid for him to actually acquire him. But commissioner Bud Selig is watching the Marlins closely after the salary dump in the Blue Jays deal. While Selig did not step in to change or block that trade, he may not look too fondly upon a deal for the Marlins' biggest draw. Teams would have to give their very best to the Marlins for baseball's best young slugger. The Phillies, Red Sox, Yankees, Orioles, Cubs, and many more are inquiring, according to a major league source.

Selig needs to try to persuade Loria in selling the team for the good of the game.

I'm wondering if that isn't what Loria is getting ready to do. New stadium and low payroll makes the team very sellable.

Perhaps....but it also makes them very profitable when you consider the $$$ they receive via revenue sharing.

Hasn't Loria been accused in the past of pocketing his revenue share instead of reinvesting that money back into his team?

Correct. You also have to factor in the ego thing that inspires these people to buy sports franchises. Lots of guys can say they own a big yacht but not many individuals own major league sports teams.
Even in situations where a team might on paper lose some money each year, the value of the franchises typically grows at a fast rate.

Selig is an empty suit and every owner knows it. That is why they put him there.
