OT: MLB Thread

Not enough fans killed them. Didn’t require a movie to explain that.
Fans get tired of watching a farm team for the Yankees and Red Sox after a while. The financial inequity that exists between MLB markets is what will eventually kill all of them, unless or until a hard salary cap is brought in.

MLB is a fucken joke from top to bottom and minor system

I cant believe the PA keeps agreeing to these CBA`s

Record TV / streaming ratings across the board … 3rd consecutive year
 
the PA refuses to agree to a cap so they like the system as it is
Sure they do. But they wont like it when franchises fold because they have no fans and there are fewer jobs to be had.

What incentive does a fan of Tampa, Miami, Pittsburgh, Cincy, KC, or any small market town have to buy tickets? So they can watch their team get annihilated by the Dodgers, Yankees, Cubs and Red Sox every damn year? To watch their best players get poached by thise same big market teams every year?
 
no franchises are folding, they just move to a better market.

You would support the Expos returning and being in the AL East only to get their ass handed to them.

BTW, Cincinnati made the playoffs, KC won a world series as did Miami (x2)
 
Plus… it must be said there were powers that be in MLB that had once been part of the group in Milwaukee that lost the expansion bid when Montreal and SD got in. They didn’t exactly try super-hard to help.

Bud Selig bought the Seattle Pilots for a song and moved them to Milwaukee to become the Brewers one year after the team began in Seattle. So the powers that be was Selig himself.
