The change of ownership in Miami isn't sitting well with the Marlins' most colorful fan.
Laurence Leavy, more commonly known as Marlins Man, has held season tickets with the club since 1993. But due to the team's most recent selloff of stars, he has yet to renew his season tickets because he doesn't want to pay money to watch a "triple-A team," according to Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald.
Not only is Leavy upset about the trades of Dee Gordon, Marcell Ozuna, and Giancarlo Stanton, he's also unhappy he originally didn't receive an invitation to the team's town hall meeting Tuesday with minority owner and CEO Derek Jeter. After the initial snub, Leavy tweeted that he eventually received an invite from the Marlins, though he arrived only to voice his displeasure for the new ownership at the meeting.
"This makes me miss (former owner Jeffrey) Loria," Leavy said. "Who would have thought that?"
Leavy has been especially critical of the Marlins' new ownership on Twitter, and said he agreed with agent Scott Boras' recent assessment that the team had become a "pawn shop."
