Another time, another Marlins fan[s] turning from the staff. No, they didnat industry each of their good players except Giancarlo Stanton this time. No, Jeffrey Loria didnat write a letter to Marlins fans. What did happen? Well, in line with the Miami New Times, a couple of longtime Marlins season ticket holders made management disappointed. And you wouldnat like Marlins management when itas miserable. [Jan and Bill Leon have] paid countless amounts for front-row period tickets since 1998. But this past year, after the staff installed an billboard that blocks their watch and dangerously obscures surface balls, the Leons asked to go in to a different area. Their reward? A lawsuit threat. More especially, the Marlins sent the Leons a letter (itas stuck in the Newest Times story, nevertheless you is able to see a bigger version of it here) in which they observe that the Leonsa payment for their 2013 seats (over $25,000), in accordance using their two-year season ticket contract, was due in September of last year. aShould you neglect to remit the outstanding payment amount within twenty (20) days of the date with this correspondence [ed. note: the letter is dated March 8], the Marlins hold the best to follow any and all appropriate legal and equitable remedies open to it during those times under the Premium Seat Agreement and under the law[.]a Jan Leon even offered probably the greatest summary of Marlins fansa combined perspective weave actually seen: aTheyave pooped on fansa emotions for years.a So, yet another case of the Marlins being the absolute worst? Wella definitely not, really, if the Marlins arenat high in it (big if, given). Why? Because while Jan Leon said the Marlins wouldnat move their seats despite their needs, the Marlins said this: We have presented Ms. Leon numerous opportunities to move to some other seat area, and everytime she's refused to move. In addition, predicated on pictures in the New Times history, hereas a of the Leonsa seats before and after the billboard was installed (only look closely at the natural foam; the cameramen in the 2nd picture were gone by the time the game began ): Itas a a' and given the $25,000+ theyare spending, the Leons have a to voice a about any difference a' but weare not sure itas a game-changing difference. And as they maintain if the Leons other seats were offered by the Marlins, then this is a much more nuanced than most athe Marlins are terriblea stories. However: we donat think itas too revolutionary to suggest that the Marlins havenat earned our undying trust when it comes to the way they do business (Jose Reyes would back us there, we think), and that they, of all franchises, should follow particularly lightly in dealing with fans who're upset with them, in the wake of the outrage over the offseasonas fire sale. And thatas why, even if the Marlins at least have some discussion they werenat in the wrong in this instance, we donat feel negative revisiting the teamas Facebook site and posting some of the most recent angry missives from supporters who, weeks later, still feel betrayed. Under an article that asked for fan expectations and hopes for probability Christian Yelich, whoas having a very good spring: And under a coupon for deals at the Marlinsa official online shop, including a photo of a toaster that puts a Marlins brand imprint in items of toast: Safe to say, if thatas where lover view of the Marlins is right now, theyad best a' at the very least for public image applications a' just jeopardize lawsuit against supporters who really, really deserve it.
