Loria trying to push Marlins out of Florida?

|
For years the Marlins owner has been going from city to city... attempting to find an area, where the Marlins could profit from.
But for the past year or so,the Marlins owner has been committed to satying in South Florida, but Peter Gammons and Steve Phillips made a good point on ESPNEWS today, saying that if the Marlins want to stay in Florida they need superstars,that will bring fans, and lead to this team performing well.
Well,today the Marlins traded away the face of the Marlins: Miguel Cabrera and Dontrelle Willis, a few weeks after Aaron Boone and Armando Benitez filed for free agency, leaving the Marlins with almost no veteren leadership, again.
You have to wonder if the Marlins owner is seriously attempting to knock the Marlins out of South Florida, to other areas like Portland Oregon,Charlotte North Carolina, or even in Virginia.
If the Marlins aren't planing on relocating,then trading away their star players,coming very close to not having a place to play in South Florirda, and having an owner that every six years buys the best team,brings in the fans, wins a World Series, then sucks for the next several years.
They got me there.
The Florida Marlins have 1,112 wins and 1,251 losses,two wildcard berths, two World Series, have made the World Series in every playoff berth, and have only been a team for thirteen years.
But, from one Devil Ray fans opinion, Question was: Which team is more popular in Florida? My response: Rays. I rarely meet Marlins fans.
Ands that's also true on the internet, as the Rays have many more blogs and forums then the Marlins do.
Lack of fanbase, money earned, and lack of veteren leadership may lead to baseball's second relocation within five years.
