MLB owners proposed a salary floor of $171.2 million. The Guardians’ current payroll is $78 million. This means the Dolans would have to increase payroll by 219% (or $93.2M) just to be in compliance. That’s how damn cheap they are.
Yes, the gold is there all (approximately) 147 million ounces. It is impressive, but the real point is what it still teaches in 2026.
In 1971 we severed the dollar from gold. Since then the currency has lost roughly 85% of its value. Prices are higher because the money itself is weaker.
A family making $50,000 with two kids that has not received a 25% raise in the last five years is falling behind.
This is now often called “affordability,” but the the accurate word is inflation.
We run annual deficits of two trillion dollars. The Federal Reserve buys about a third of that debt by creating new money. Every new dollar dilutes the value of the dollars already in people’s pockets. Gold does not expand when Congress spends. Paper does.
That is the difference.
Chris Gimenez is a complete moron. Can throw anything here 3-2 with an open base. Proceeds to give up a 3-R Tank. You don’t have an “open base” in the 3rd inning. Between his Arias is as good as Mike Trout and this he should be banned from broadcasting.
Vogt over manages on an almost nightly basis. Safety squeeze with one of slowest runners in league on 3B. Way too many subs and early hooks for SP. What is the purpose of analytics if not to show it is not working this season!
