David is right,,Im not a big baseball fan so I knew nothing of his previous tenure as marlins president..Then out of nowhere I come to find out that I love me sum Samson lol, his sports business & behind the curtain knowledge is deep,, interesting,, informative,, funny I could go on & on,,it's also sumthing very unique from all the other sports shows & pods.

Mighty big of David to give his time and celebrity to help these upstarts’ channel.

David gracious to be here O wnjoy his daily takes. He can be exasperating, but always educational regarding baseball

Fernandez’ death imo still casts a shadow over the team. Great job guys on giving Sampson his best Marlins themed interview since he left the team. Good on him as well, for calling out the disorganization of the front office. The lack of respect for the chain of command and a meddlesome ill informed owner is a recipe for disaster.

one thing i wanted to ask . is how David Samson feels about, new logo ,stadium colors, fish tank, clevender gone and orange jersey gone . miss big time thanks for all you done David Samson

Very insightful! Should definitely do a part 2

that was so good congrats for the interview and looking forward for more

Definitely want a part 2!

David is an amazing person. He cared and ownership basically tossed him off the plank. David can’t get a job now because of he’s been basically saying shit that most owners would hate. David wasn’t the problem. David Sampson hatted Jeter and that ownership group. The Marlins should extend some level of management too David.

Corporate presence is why I think Charlotte, NC is going to be a sneaky frontrunner to get an mlb team. They have 13(!) Fortune 500 companies stationed there for luxury suites and sponsorships, a large metro, and the White Sox AAA affiliate's stadium is downtown on a plot of land big enough to build a major league stadium. They are primed for Major league baseball.

Good job guys, do a pt. 2....

Oh & absolutely love his voice !!

I think Samson has the introspective mea culpa routine down pat, having years to create that persona. Interestingly, though, I agree with him on his window of opportunity theme and how that has to play into team payroll. This is especially true for so-called small market teams. It does apply to Tampa Bay, Oakland, and Miami. On the other hand, his Jeffrey-had-to-write-checks could be true, but we all know it is not the entire picture. There are tax ramifications, for one, to take into account. The other is asset appreciation. We know Loria paid $158.5 million for the team when coming from Montreal, where he acquired the Expos for a relative song. So, the $1.1 billion sale of the Marlins (net of any paper expenses like depreciation, etc.) represents a monterous, almost obscene

I'd like to hear a Part 2 ONLY if you press David on details as to why he strong-armed the city council into financing a new Marlins ballpark. I'd also like to hear you interview Dan LeBatard and ask him why - during Dan's Miami-only show - he was a cheerleader and not a journalist towards David when David was strong-arming the city council.

Okay listen to me now…..Why did the Marlins or Jeff Conine never figure out that his number should have been 99!!!???!!! His name was literally co-nines! I need the answer to this question….

David's right

The greatest mistake this team ever made (and there are so many to choose from) was trading Cabrera to the Tigers on year before the stadium was built. The excuse at the time was that they could not afford Hanley and Miggy! Who thought Hanley was the future HOFer and icon to build the team around. Poorest judgment ever!!!!

Profit for Loria. Adding insult to injury is the stadium taunting of the Miami citizenry and government.

My step daddy gave me a job, I was terrible at it.

excuse me but what do these punks know about the application of analytics and whether more brainiacs is better? really, where is the guarentee that more staff means better results? samson is being awfully generous with this ely pushback on samson's take on this topic. look at the last decade and show me where a small market team with limited budgets has won anything? always the same teams, the same results. children.

This was hard to listen to as a life-long Marlins fan or technically since I was 11 when the franchise first came into existence. I don't expect anyone to care about my opinion but David Samson is too stubborn and petty to lead a pro sports team. Also he doesn't take real accountability and that is a terrible quality for leadership. He's more of a politician or attorney than anything else and as a fan of the team I resent the fact that he couldn't put aside his pride and ego and just fully devote himself to continuously making the Marlins a better franchise from the top down, year by year.

at the end of the day at the end of the day at the end of the day at the end of the day enough with this lazy spaz filler expression
