I admit not being certain about which group I wanted to see win the bidding for the Marlins: the Jeter/Bush team or the Atlanta Braves-inspired Glavine/Romney consortium. I still want to hate on the Marlins, and having a Yankee involved preserves that desire.
The approvals and the details will have to be worked out of the course of the next several months, but regardless of the new ownership, there is a cautionary tale that needs to be told here.
