Actually, The Marlins are at fault for that. They are the second most evil organization in MLB. They are the Scrooge of the MLB.
I was in Miami when they beat the Indians for their first WS. The next day they were already talking of dumping players rather than pay salary. Within days they started the fire sale of players turning a champion into crap team. They did the same thing after their second WS. Whenever they have a good player, they dump them before the rookie contract runs out.
They are in a big market with a great potential fan base. Rather than try to build the fan base with a winning team and a half decent payroll. They use a revolving door of disposable young talent. They finally were able to bitch and moan enough to be able to con Dade County into building a new stadium. So maybe that will change.
