    That was a couple years ago protests that I looked that up

    Research also shows the longer and louder the protest the more likely for success

    Baseballs were flying out of ballparks at a record pace during the 2020 season and the Twins took full advantage by clocking 307 home runs and setting the all-time MLB record That record would have an * due to the probability the only 2020 season would be a simulated one. However that record would only match the 2019 record.

    You know the player costs. Everything else is a guess, even the guess that one could be within 5%

    No overt restrictions. Denial is a beautiful thing. If it is silly to say none, what is it to say there is a free market when there is not free markets for all? You are being very presidential.

    The owners are the one pushing. Scab players will not work. It has been tried in football. It did not work. Minor league as a replacement, did not work, see all of the failed football leagues.

    Sponsorships are not taxable. Nor is it public information what is spent on the administrative side of baseball. You can claim profit or loss, but you do not know.

    Your bias is causing you to not be cognizant of the fact that nobody really knows how much money these teams make. When they made the initial agreement in March MLB knew what the money would be. . It has been a long time since they have made financial mistakes. They were not operating blindly. Betts will do fine. It is and has been lately the second tier free agents that have suffered. Odorizzi might be the one.

    Luxury tax says you are wrong. It is a cap. Compensation also makes it not a free market. There is no free market.

    The players are not trying for more money than thier pro rated contracts. They are all negotiated in good faith. You have a problem with that, quit watching and following baseball. No players=no game
  11. old nurse
    The players agreed to pro rated salaries. The owners will find ways to make profits. Relative greed? The prices for things over the years, facility funding throughout baseball shows you where the money manipulation has come. As there is nothing definitive set on how the playoffs work, the owners will find a way to make money.

    I am one of those people at risk every day I work. I don't really care if the owners lose a little money. For this year even they can still make money. Expanded playoffs will bring back more than enough money. The owners will find a way. Some star in an effort to make money will find a way with the owners to have fans for the playoffs and make people money virus or not. With the players they are still going to have a risk albeit not likely to be a lethal one. You, and others, begrudge the entertainers making money for providing you entertainment. That is what it is. The wealth of the country has shifted in the same manner for the owners. The teams will be fine in the short run as well as the long run. The Wilpons couldn't even bankrupt the Mets

    The average increase in the valuation of a team versus the increase in player pay over the same time period? Another perspective is If you look at operating income there would would be a 400% + increase over the last 10 years. People who make a few million versus 30 people who make billions

    "Underwater" assets are not the player's fault. Players sign a contract. Sometimes they are team friendly, sometimes not. When a team signs a new television contract, new stadium deal or anything else that jumps the revenue of a team the players do not universally share thw bounty, why should the player suffer the momentary downturn
  15. old nurse
    If you throw out the good players permanently and are left with an inferior product then attendance will dip almost everywhere but Tampa and Oakland where attendance can't get much lower. Aw orse performing team will almost always have an attendance drop. If the Angels tradr Trout they get a return for the future. If he is permanently banned, they get nothing. Another reason why owners would not be as frivolous with their assets
  16. old nurse
    The owners are likely not stupid enough to eliminate players that are the lifeblood of attendance everywhere else but Florida

    Hill has been a 6 inning pitcher, Berrios not that much better. Hill would have to be separated from Berrios or your limited bullpen of 5 pitchers will get abused.

    It seems odd in an article about under the radar, bargain bin, potential free agents that losing Trevor May is mentioned. Without a great 2020, May would be that type of free agent.

    This one may confuse you more http://www.captainsblog.info/2020/03/07/looking-under-the-hood-of-mlbs-revenue-sharing-plan-yankees-baseball-red-sox-mets-how-does-baseballs-revenue-sharing-work/25425/

    Average ticket cost is not average amount spent on tickets. Places cite the average cost of a ticket to the stadiums. When you look at the people in the stands, more cheap seats are empty. Money from TV has been about 60% revenue. That is pure profit for the team. The rest of the revenue production all has money paid to make it exist. Revenue there is not equal to profit

    Baseball was gone from Springfield from 2002-2007. There is not a single word in the article of during that time that there was the demise of Springfield. None, nada, zippo. There was also not a word in there about them having to decide what public works program not to do so as to fund a stadium. There were words of declining attendance but nothing in terms of a connection to life going bad for anyone other than a sportswriter in Springfield.

    Bill Campbell went undrafted and had a long career Marty Coedova was a 10th round pick 50 years of drafting and not even 15 players. I do not think it was his intention but it does point out that late round picks for tr the Twins rarely pan out. If most teams have similar success it is no wonder there is talk of reducing the draft.

    thirty some home games. It is entertainment money.It is not like they would have other baseball nearby. The revenue would go somewhere locally. It would as likely get spent somewhere locally. A college with campus classes is a far different thing than entertainment dollars. Far different in the local labor needs. The college has 115 administrative staff. Buildings and grounds crew. as there are more buildings and grounds There is more support staff for athletics than a minor league team. A closer example would be the circus not coming to town. What economic impact would the Badlands Big Sticks have on Dickinson?
  25. old nurse
    About once out of every four drafts they get a good player after the fifth round. Maybe this was the year, maybe not. Donaldson now or long odds of third round draft pick. I sincerely hope that it does not become an issue. The same goes for the other draft pick.
