How the hell do the Marlins exist with a fan base of 5 people. TV and merchandise deals wouldn't cover their bills.

This is exactly right. Samson makes people want to punch him in the face and Loria hides behind him

MLBPA reminds Marlins to pay up

The perennially cheap frugal Florida Marlins were given a kick in the pants today by the MLBPA and reminded that their small payroll was in violation of MLB's sharing guidelines.

In other words, they were pocketing the money sent to them by the Red Sox and Yankees instead of investing it in payroll. The Marlins denied it, but agreed to increase their payroll at an amount that was not announced.

It has long been thought that a number of teams do this. But the Marlins were clearly the worst violators.
