MIAMI (CBSMiami) – The biggest news surrounding the Miami Marlins in recent weeks is the potential sale of the team by owner Jeffrey Loria.
Known as one of the least favorite owners in baseball, and perhaps professional sports, Loria recently did a long interview with ESPN that focused mostly on the passing of former pitching ace Jose Fernandez last September.
An interesting nugget that came from the interview is that Loria is planning on having a statue of Fernandez built and placed outside Marlins Park.
Loria said he is working with the same sculptor who made the Willie McCovey and Willie Mays statues outside the San Francisco Giants home stadium, AT&T Park.
