This just in.... the Marlins are in first place and have one two Championships since '97. Their front office seems to know what it's doing with a really really really low budget.

With the Marlins payroll, that is a very questionable move.

Isn't $1 like 30% of the Marlins payroll this year? Those crazy guys in Miami went on a spending spree! I heard to celebrate their acquisition they took the whole team out to PF Changs to celebrate!
