heavybass Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Wouldn't it be a good idea if say a team is in the bottom 10 for payroll, the league forces you to list the team on sale on Forbes value? Be a good way to get rid of cheapskates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Pirates or Royals could make any money, people would be lining up to buy them. There certainly are owners that are cheapskates by choice, but I'd wager that many more are cheapskates by circumstance.

rams80 Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Forbes valued the Dodgers at $3.2 billion that same year. Sale price would probably be for more, but who knows.

Dilbert Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Fans in Cincinnati have been calling for Castellini to sell the team for a while now but now with this news coming out showing just how cheap he is is fueling the fire, not to mention reports that he tried to get Hall of Fame writer Hal McCoy fired.

Dynasty Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 The Reds will show signs of (playoff) contending and then immediately go into "rebuild mode" after the season. It's like the front office is content with being a farm club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like the front office is content with being a farm club. Same deal with the Mariners. Really frustrating to settle for surprise contention rather than intentional competitiveness. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you want to know the terrifying truth, or do you want to see me sock a few dingers? You have this backwards. They're cheapskates by circumstance because the circumstance is you can turn a higher profit margin as a small market owner by not spending the money to compete. They have money, every team does. The reason smaller market teams keep payrolls low is because the calculus for their market is different from large markets. We know the silly accounting that pretends they're losing money for the purpose of the Books and keeping player salaries down is bunk because the Royals sold 3 years ago for over a billion dollars. The Pirates and Royals and Reds and A's and Rays are making money hand over fist and would all go for over a billion too if they went up for sale. The problem is that the system in place incentivizes winning 76 games as a greater return on investment than winning 86-100 games.

You think the only reason Bob Nutting keeps the Pirates or Bob Castellini keeps the Reds is because they can't find a buyer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFGiants58 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 If it had lasted 21 days longer, I could’ve made a Salò: The 120 Days of Sodom joke. Casting the owners as the elite and the players as the young people who get tortured would’ve been so perfect. I wanted to make this joke during the last NHL lockout. It lasted 119 days, much to my chagrin. MLB: Project 32 (Complete), MLB: The Defunct Saga (Complete) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
