Baseball, Loria, and Jeter pulled a pump-and-dump scheme with a professional sports franchise on a major American city.

MLB ****ed up not letting Jorge Mas' group win that bid. A group with actual money. An actual ownership group with money could make Miami a destination franchise. Weather, no income tax, and in routes with the Caribbean and South America - players would want to flock to Miami.
