fans north of the border that will never forget (about how Loria's actions led to the Expos leaving town). Florida/Miami Marlins Shortly after selling the Expos, Loria officially became owner of the Marlins on February 12, 2002. Loria won his first World Series as an owner in his second full season in Florida, as the Marlins beat the Yankees four games to two in the World Series. In 2013, Forbes evaluated the current value for the Miami Marlins at around $520 million. As of May 12, 2009, the Marlins were 569–564 under Loria.

The deal required taxpayer general funds to compensate all cost overruns, but the facility was completed on-time and under budget. The Marlins receive 100% of all revenues from the stadium, but must pay all costs associated with operating the facility. The first Major League Baseball game in the new stadium was against the St. Louis Cardinals on April 4, 2012. Following a disappointing season in which the Marlins finished last in their division, the Marlins completed a 12-player trade on November 19, 2012 with the Toronto Blue Jays as part of an effort to pare down the team's
