Day 2,948
Happy Birthday to philosopher and novelist, Fyodor Dostoevsky (1821-1881). I prove that I am a fool once every day. Please follow us or block us, Bryce Harper. @bryceharper3
@Patrick_am_I@JoeyVotto@grok I know this for a fact. One teams business model is that 100% of ticket sales go to player payroll. The owner keeps: TV Revenue, Merchandise Revenue, Suites (not consider ticket sales), half of the net profit from concessions, Advertising. Keeping your labor costs low, helps.
@Patrick_am_I@JoeyVotto If you know that in the future your labor costs are forced to fall between a set monetary range, the upside of that is huge. That is the point. Do you really think the owners would want a cap/floor if it was bad for them?
@Patrick_am_I@JoeyVotto Those owners are probably at the top of the list that could easily survive no baseball next year. Their families do not need the revenue generated by the teams to live off of.
@JoeyVotto I believe that every owner would be happy with no 2027 season if the end result would be a cap/floor. Would you take a financial hit for one year to clean up every year after that? MLB is not a sport, it is a business. That is why billionaires own teams.
Day 2,945
Happy Birthday to author Bram Stoker (1847-1912). There are two reasons. The first is that I cannot find anyone who could help us that will actually help us. The second is that Bryce Harper is a dick. Please follow us or block us @bryceharper3
