As Craig reports, (quoting from this article) 'Major League Baseball "will take a long, hard look" in the next two months at whether the Marlins can survive in South Florida, President Bob DuPuy told ESPN Radio on Thursday.'
What the...? Oh, I get it. This is just to light a fire under the city commissioners to get a stadium going....
'DuPuy says the answer to the Marlins' survival is a ballpark with a retractable roof. But for seven years, the team has been unable to get financial help from local and state leaders.'
Excuse me, but as noted ad nauseum on this site, the city recently found an extra $50 million to go towards the building of the ballpark, and were rewarded for their generosity by the Marlins reducing their contribution by $30-40 million. It's not the city's fault if Jeffrey's being a hard ass.
