The league needs a salary cap and a salary floor, and it will never happen. And then they’re gonna cry about attendance (once people are allowed back) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owners who tank and salary dump while holding fanbases hostage for stadium leases and continue to sell even low attendance numbers, not to mention TV deals, merchandise, etc. are a lot bigger issue than teams who write ridiculous checks to pay for titles. See: The Marlins The Indians The Royals pre-World Series The Expos/Nationals pre-new ownership Throw in the fact that owners refuse to open their books and show the losses that they claim, which they shouldn't be allowed to do since the stadium lease is FUNDED BY TAXPAYERS, and that's all I'll say about that. Someone do the 13% annual return compound interest calculator on $1 billion (conservatively a billion dollars) since 2013 over the last 7 years, and then you'll have Dolan's "losses". @ramssuperbowl99 you're a nerd just like us. This seems like a job for you. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This seems like a job for you. A few months ago Bill DeWitt (the CEO of the Cardinals) came out and said the Cardinals "haven't been that profitable" over the past 20 years. If you solely go by the value of the team, they made 11% compounded annually. That doesn't include a dime of actual cash flow, or the value of the financing they could get with a $2B asset. "Not that much". These people aren't stupid, they're sociopaths. They'll lie to your face over and over again to rob you without regard for the consequences. The only thing they'll listen to is money, so vote with your wallet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because this year, it's okay to still turn a merchandizing profit and then cash in on rebranding for late 2021 and beyond. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruceb Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Everything I am reading/hearing is saying that Bauers has the edge over Bradley for 1B. Why? Bauers is a stiff. Why can't they just face up to that and give Bradley -- and the team -- a better chance to win by scoring runs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have read about the option and also that Bauers has the edge because he is a veteran and plays slightly better D than Bradley, which makes no sense to me. Unless we want to repeat last year and have top notch pitching and bottom third of the league O, we should see if Bradley can add some pop to the lineup. Status be damned. Bauers is not a good baseball player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re running a business/talent development team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
