@vosdscott Probably only the Mets did not profit as an organization in 2026 thanks to revenue sharing and luxury tax payments that are already in place to prop up “small market” teams/cheap owners. Does there really need to be a salary cap to stop the Mets from wasting their own money?
@SNY_Mets@sal_licata@AlbaneseLaura@KeithRaad The most embarrassing part of being a Mets fan is not the disappointing finishes or the frequent bad seasons at the bottom of the league, It’s that too much thought by this fanbase is wasted on the Yankees who are not even competing against them.
@banjoscrambler@nut_history I feel like the owners kept it in place so they would be less likely to pay ballpark employees for additional hours. They stop selling alcohol in the 8th inning and the concessions don’t sell much in extra innings so they are paying them to wait to clean up.
@krystalball Saying you see yourself voting for the man who scammed you out of 400k. The very definition of that R word Conservatives are so proud that they brought back.
@factpostnews What is this stupid alpha crap? Dogs just follow the older dogs of the group. Like how people listen to their parents and aunts and uncles. Cause those were the one’s providing food and shelter when they were kids.
@MLBPA The real problem here is the Dodgers and how they are manipulating contracts to cheat the luxury tax. Not having a salary cap has actually made the Mets worse. I wish the Mets were like the Brewers and Rays.
@alexanderw36@ProGridSports The Braves, Cardinals and Red Sox had periods where they were some of the cheapest teams in the league while at other points the Tigers, Twins, and White Sox had the most expensive players.
@alexanderw36@ProGridSports There is about 70 years of seasons in this graph where there was not free agency in baseball so payrolls were not really a major factor until the mid to late 70’s. The Athletics who are still way up on this list would sell players when finances got tough.
@traderderic@ProGridSports And even then it’s not an even playing field cause the National League had two more teams than the AL competing for the same amount of playoff spots until 2013.
@traderderic@ProGridSports The Yankees would still be number one. The only fair assessment would be to compare everyone starting in 1998 with the last expansion.
