He had similar offers from a team that means to compete and stay on top, and from a team – his prior one – that means primarily to keep that luxury tax money clanging into Jeffrey Loria’s Scrooge McDuck money bin instead. It’s true that the Marlins are just a “small market” team – but a sizable percentage of its “smallness” is directly attributable to the exodus of Feesh fans who are sick and tired of watching their team treat quality talent – even reasonably priced talent – the way an anorexic treats the buffet at Caesar’s Palace.
