John Henry: You can suck it. Your luxury tax payment was only $4,156,476. If you don't like paying luxury tax here is a simple solution: don't let payroll exceed $136.5M. 28 other teams found a way to do that last year and 6 of them made the playoffs. You don't need to spend over 100M to win.
Florida is a totally different story. They've won two WS and the city hasn't done shit to say thanks. They were 28th in attendance in 2003 (1.3M tickets) and their big boost for the next season was to go up to 26th (1.7M tickets). That city doesn't deserve an MLB franchise.
