@rationalyankee This only works because their owner loved the Padres and knew he was dying, so spent his fortune in his final years to build a winner. The team lost $270 million over his last 4 years of life. Theres no giant payday without their father running the business at a deficit for years
@PeteSampson_ The logic the chair used for teams shifting is changes in resume. So if he was telling the truth, if Boise wins on Friday we can’t move down. Although I think he’s full of shit and will flip us regardless.
At the Rockies AA game tonight and they just went through the stats for the starting lineup. The Rockies may be one of the worst teams ever right now, but don’t worry, their farm system is somehow even worse!
@IamTrevorMay A cap is not necessary, but a floor is… and a cap is the only way to get to a floor.
Every other major US league has a cap and a floor and small markets are able to retain stats and compete for championships.
