Stadium Holdup
Via FishStripes, there's talk of future tough decisions regarding Hanley Ramirez after 2008 if the Marlins don't get a stadium deal. Note, however, that a stadium deal doesn't mean a team will keep the talent around. Look no further than the Minnesota Twins and Johan Santana. Loria strikes me as the type of owner who gets a deal, and still trades away expensive players anyway.

FishStripes' author has it right - it's business as usual whether there's a new stadium or not.
It's like sales analysts reflecting on a poor Christmas season - The weather was too good so customers didn't go shopping or the weather wasn't good so the customers didn't go shopping
Florida will dump Ramirez when he's eligible for arbitration after the 2008 season.
