It is every sports fans’ dream to own their favorite franchise and for Marlins fans, this dream can now come true, for the small sum of $1.7 billion.
Marlins owner, Jeffrey Loria is reportedly feeling out the market with his $1.7 billion price tag in mind, a far cry from the $675 million mark that Forbes has the team valued at, which puts the Marlins 29th out of 30 in terms of franchise value.
Since the infamous fire sale of 2005, the idea of Jeffrey Loria selling the Marlins has seemed ideal for some Marlins fans.
