The Florida Marlins are one of the worst run organizations ever, but no one has noticed because they got lucky, twice.
In 1997 the won the WS and immeidtaly disbanded basically the entire franchice. In 1998 traded for/re-traded Mike Piazza as part of a complicated salary dump...
In 2003 they did the exact same thing with Mike Hampton to dump Preston Wilsons salary, didn't make any serious attempts to improve the team but randomly had some good pitchers come up and made a token signign of Pudge as another WS fell into their larp.
They of course let everyone go withing 2 years, creating an eventual team of 12 year olds to play in 2006 which again somehow went over .500. However despite this they fire their manager.
The current owner is Jeff Loria who basically bankrupted the Expos. This entire organization is an absolute joke.

They have spent little money and still been competitive and won championships...isn't that the ultimate goal in sports?

The Ultimate Goal in the World Series of Poker is to win that, does that mean Robert Varkonyi is a great player?
