While most of us are enjoying turkey today, it looks like Jeffrey Loria is carving himself up some Marlins.

Beckett and Lowell to the Red Sox, Delgado to the Mets. Expect Dontrelle Willis, Jack McKeon, Miguel Cabrera, and Juan Pierre to be sent somewhere in return for single-A players and a bag of balls.

Marlins management refuses to call this a fire sale, opting instead to say they're tailoring the roster to fit their revenues. This also came about as the team announced they're going to pull up stakes if they can't get a stadium deal done, which while understandable - they've been playing in Dolphins Stadium too long - just adds to the Era of Cheap Feelings that's being reborn in south Florida.

That Loria's been through this before when he owned the Montreal Expos is hardly cause for optimism. I mean, look at the farce that became before the team was moved. All I'm saying is that when Loria sells the Marlins and they become the Las Vegas Croupiers, beware if he comes sniffing around to buy your favorite team.

Anyway, happy Thanksgiving to one and all - and especially baseball fans in Miami, who could use the positive distraction.
