-The financial structure of MLB isn’t going to change because of the Orioles. MLBs business model is based on large markets driving revenue and that is never going to change. The committee tasked with competitive balance is CHAIRED by the LAD’s owner-what does that tell you?
-Revenue is growing much faster than planned in the CBA (10% v 3%) Big markets are flush with cash the tax penalties have much less effect.
-The Orioles received and continue to receive welfare-substantial revenue sharing and draft picks as a smaller market team.
-KC similar market/revenue are able to sign multiple 2/3s, extend Witt under favorable terms and trade for a #1.
-I would suggest the problem lies as much with the Orioles as it does with MLB
I'm a little hurt you didn't follow up on my big Gibson break down.
I think it's still fine for people to dream on Rubenstein on Dec. 11, and probably unfair to him that people are already dusting off their pitchforks this early in his very first off-season.
I can appreciate you trying to keep it realistic, even if it's a little overboard at times. Hopefully there's a new level of realistic coming. We shall find out soon.
Do you always have to strawman so hard when someone questions one of your ideas?
Literally no one anywhere thinks we're getting Bryce Miller for Ramon Urias and Ryan O'Hearn.
I didn't realize Teel was top 25 now. I guess Kjerstad could've been an equivalent. We obviously didn't want to pay their price.
So it's a moot point. Just another name gone.
