Another team with a payroll in the $30 millions...Peter Angelo's, the Baltimore owner, hasn't cared about winning for many years.
Baseball needs a salary cap... And a minimum cap too.. Teams like the Pirates should not be allowed field non competitive teams year after year...
If an organization is incompetent, like the NFL Lions, and the NBA Knicks... Fine, but at least they try... They spend money.. The Pirates don't even try...
1994: MLB shuts down due to strike
1995: Atlanta wins the World Series
2021: Atlanta wins the World Series
2021: MLB shuts down due to lockout
I see a pattern here.
I ride my bike through the Giant's training camp every few days, I'll have to see what its like now...We're not into winter yet and Spring training is months away, but...
MLB lockout: Everything to know about baseball's first work stoppage since 1994-95
Why is there a lockout? What are they fighting over? How long will it last? Let's answer as best we canwww.cbssports.com
Next season appears to be in jeopardy.
That's more deferred than guaranteed... But yeah, guaranteed contracts are a problem too... Especially for small market teams... Example: the Yankees give out a big, long term deal to someone, and he gets hurt, or just grows old and underperforms, the Yanks eat the contract, move on and sign someone else..The only problem with that is guaranteed contracts. How many more years yall still paying Bobby?
You missed my point. All the games I mentioned are foreign in nature. She seems to have a problem with an American sport.Rugby is a great sport, with the flag football being played in the NFL these days I would bet there is a decent market for it.

A small market team has 1 or 2 bad contracts, and then they can't sign anyone else for years until those bad contracts are gone..
Baseball is a mess.

The problem with all of this talk about the huge discrepancy in payrolls is the Tampa Bay Rays.. lol...
They are good every year, but are always on the low end of the pay scale... This is all their fault.. lol
I wonder if Baseball realizes how unpopular it is. Most people won't miss it. Hell, they don't watch any games as it is.
Florida, for some, isn't a baseball state... Maybe the weather, the beaches, no history... Idk..And still no one will watch them play
I think problem is the fans are split. Half want to see baseball revert back and be a more pastime game and half want it to change completely.
Do you have any ideas how to fix it?

With an older population, and a large Latino population I would think baseball would be popular down there... But the Rays and Marlins can't draw flies...
I don't see anything wrong with baseball.
Baseball revenues disagree.I wonder if Baseball realizes how unpopular it is. Most people won't miss it. Hell, they don't watch any games as it is.

I still have the PGA tour.
Where they actually have to perform to make their money!

I've been a baseball fan since the mid 1950's. When baseball was king. I remember the world series in the afternoon at school, when all teaching stopped so we could watch it on TV or listen to it over the loud speaker. Not anymore. I think both the players and the owners ought to be careful. There's been a lot of changes in baseball, some good, some bad. Lockouts aren't doing the sport any favorite.We're not into winter yet and Spring training is months away, but...

Actually MLB is the second ranked sport in the good old USA, behind the NFL.I wonder if Baseball realizes how unpopular it is. Most people won't miss it. Hell, they don't watch any games as it is.
