Marlins owner Bruce Sherman on MLB payrolls, 'extraordinary expectations' for 2026

My first thought is always geared toward the many Marlins fans with their howling and gnashing of teeth - the perpetual mantra of the need for vastly increased spending. We know, you don't care about financials or even the idea that teams, as a distinct entity from their ownership's other businesses or personal fortune, should operate within a reality of revenue and expenses. But one would think, Marlins fans understand the deal by now. Maybe the CBA will change things, or Elon Musk will buy the team and pull a Steve Cohen-esque spending fest. Until then, unless being a miserable fan with a forever pity party is one's goal in life, savor the team's progress, and let's shock the baseball world again in 2026. Or not. Be unhappy if you wish, or let's discuss things within some modicum of reality.  Winning as an underdog is so much more satisfying, n'cest ce pas? Eff the Dodgers. Go Fish.
