Call me an American, but I was really hoping for a true underdog story where a ragtag group of unathletic middle aged men defeated Dolan and his high priced lawyers in a civil court, making them change their names and logo.

candyman93 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Need to just do a fire sale. It’s idiotic what they’ve been trying to do. You’re not competing against the American League, stop trying to fool fans and get a cash grab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candyman93 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 (edited) Jimmy has his flaws, but unlike Dolan he actually spends money. Same deal with Dan Gilbert, he’s very flawed, but he does what it takes to win. I’d rather have a dumb owner who makes mistakes on occasion than a supposed “smart” owner who does the bare minimum. You can try to protect people from being stupid, but you can’t make them care. Edited March 20, 2022 by candyman93 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youd think I was asking for something incredible or unheard of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buno67 Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 "The previous high in free agent spending for a winter was $2.4 billion. This offseason, teams have already committed $3.265 billion." Cleveland paid $900,000 for Luke Maile. That's their sole free agency signing. The Guardians are responsible for 0.0276% of the total $ spent by MLB teams this offseason. That is absolutely insane.

If you’re Jose Ramirez how do you not ask for a trade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans should just boycott everything until these clowns sell the franchise. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They think they can not even attempt to put a winning product out there and still turn a profit, not even caring about the result on the field. Take your kids to other, minor league games or something. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chance I’m going up there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
