The Marlins had charged premium ticket prices for fans to see the defending World champs, and the team’s officials may or may not have tattled to MLB.

Of course, Henry owned the Marlins for three seasons. It was his dream to own the Red Sox that opened the possibility for Jeffrey Loria to buy the Marlins in the first place. So it’s not exactly like the guy is blameless in all of this.
