Be careful what you wish for.

Why? :scratchchinhmm:

Because the debt load of the new owner will be unsupportable if the MASN agreement does not make it through the courts. We would be the As then.

Or maybe Angelos sells the team but not MASN.

Or maybe Angelos sells the team but not MASN.

Or maybe the next time the Orioles are sold in a bankruptcy auction, the new owner is not from Baltimore. Nor does he have affection for it.

Is spending at a Yankees+ rate really "picture perfect"? Sure, from a short-term fan perspective. But what happens when they don't win for a while and they tire of subsidizing revenues with their bank accounts? Angelos was very free with the cash until the wins and the expected revenues weren't there. Then he became Angelos.

I have seen no evidence that they are spending beyond their means.

Recommend you dont bet the home mortgage payment on that prediction.

Or maybe Angelos sells the team, but not M.A.S.N.

Possibility, not prediction.

Corn didn't predict that it would happen, he just threw it out there as a possibility.
