They are a well below 500 team so attendance is going to be down.  Do you want them to do what is necessary to make the team better for years to come or do you want them to put marginally more fans in seats.  

I will say this ... you are consistent in focusing on the present without regard to the future.  Of course, this is your prerogative.  However, that approach is destined to perpetuate failure which is why MLB teams don't operate that way.  Even the biggest revenue teams have learned developing young talent is the most crucial component of building a winner and operate accordingly. 

Many of us have also learned this lesson.  We don't want to continue to suck so we are willing to invest in the current team in order to improve our chances of building a team that can win for the next several years.  Some of us want a better team next year and for many years to come.  So, our preference is the team employee strategies that have the best chance of creating long-term success.  

If you were around in the seventies, do you want to go through another ten years of barely .500 ball; THAT is what bringing in all the Minor League maybes  vs. know how veterans did to the seventies.

It was not Minor League wannabes that made 2019 good, it was 4 veterans that came in a gave the team an offensive boost, they are all gone now.   Rooker looked good today but Cave looked good three years ago, and then went pfft.

So you want to wait till 2031 for a team that gets above .500 while playing Sandlot ball for ten years, your perrogative.
