Bruce Sherman

Dick Montfort, not a cheap owner, but not a, you know, hasn't spent his money particularly well.

Bruce Sherman in Miami, cheap owner.

uh you know you can look at the raise and you could argue that you know stuart sternberg never spent money on payroll cheap owner like there are all sorts of of different insults that can be lobbed at owners that would just go away and i think a lot of them have frankly very fragile egos and and don't want this thing that they feel like they invest a lot of money in already to uh hurt their reputation, make them feel sad, you know.

And I saw on your podcast a month ago, you sent a request to interview all 30 owners and you got ghosted 30 out of 30 times, right? No transparency.

They'll be able to do no wrong because everybody hated Loria.

And so whoever comes in and then all of a sudden it was Bruce Sherman and Derek Jeter.

And they had like, they just engendered zero goodwill because they were weird when they took over the Marlins.

This James Dolan, I mean, he's hated, right? He's getting in fights with Charles Oakley and people in New York love Oakley.

When we took over in 2002, the market was already in shambles, but the thought was, can we return it? Can we possibly make that market work? 16 years later, and a new stadium, and a World Series, yada yada, not sure.

When Bruce Sherman took over, same thought.

When new owners come in, there is this hope by baseball when they approve the deal.

And I've been a part of so many ownership changes.

He-

He happens to know So there, there's an argument being made apparently that Bruce Sherman, like-

Why is, why is Captain Hook laughing at you?

'Cause your throat, your, your throat did the thing again.

You don't need 12 people on your payroll.

Two, if you do not do as the front office likes, and this is not impugning Bruce Sherman, it is not because we were the same.

We don't like it when broadcasters are critical.

We don't like it when broadcasters don't say what we want them to say and do what we want them to do.

What if I told you that there's no way for the Marlins to win from public relations standpoint right now because the emotion of this against the unknown doesn't get them any benefit of the doubt?

It's three television voices that Bruce Sherman has fired now at this point.

He hasn't even been the owner of the team that long.

That's, that's the thing for me.

... you know, s- stay in your lane, man.

Well, yeah, just to get more specific, the things that make me chuckle the most are the people saying, "This is a Bruce Sherman issue."

[laughs]

That Bruce, it's time to sell the team for making decisions like this.

I don't like him laughing over my pain, 'cause, 'cause he left here.

First of all, he stuck us with Bruce Sherman.

I didn't even want Bruce Sherman.

I want somebody else, and they just had to find some patsy who would team up with Derek Jeter.

Remember, it was gonna be Jeb Bush.
