Agent Scott Boras leveled a shot at the Marlins and other teams this week in asserting that rebuilding teams have become a “competitive cancer” that caused a four percent drop in big league attendance this past season.
Boras, who speaks to a throng of reporters every year at the November general manager’s meetings, noted that Louisiana State’s baseball team had a higher average attendance for its 37 home games than the Miami Marlins did for their 81 — 10,786 to 10,014.
For the first time, the Marlins this season included only people who were actually at the game in their attendance figures.
