@ThatBootlegGuy And another factor: the cartel structure of MLB that protects the monopoly power of owners allows for jacking up the prices, alongside vendor deals that are packaged for maximizing revenue at lowest possible cost.

Joe Mack caught every single inning for the Marlins this week.

They allowed only 2.8 runs per game with him behind the plate. That's their best run prevention week of the season.

The ball hit by Cedric Mullins would've been a homer in 27 #MLB ballparks.

Not sure if Owen Caissie robbed a homer, but he definitely took away extra bases. #Marlins

Absolutely incredible play

If the #MLB owners cry enough ( or make a proper tribute 💰) they might be able to get this president to issue one if his executive orders mandating a salary cap...b/c in this f.ukd up timeline we're living in why wouldn't this happen? 🤔🤷‍♀️

Rays, Guardians and Brewers all in first place. A true shame about those low payroll teams not being able to compete. Signing more bad contracts is surely the answer to greater competitive balance.

Finally. It’s past time we end Trump’s illegal war.

You deserve guaranteed healthcare in the richest, most powerful country in the world. Don't let a corporation or a corporate-bought politician tell you otherwise. Pass Medicare for All.

Rob Manfred said in October 2024 that MLB had a "darn good" record on competitive balance. Back in 2018, he said the correlation between winning and spending was "extraordinarily weak."

Now, he says MLB's luxury-tax system has failed:

ICE is not about immigration. ICE is about normalizing a paramilitary force on peaceful streets. Abolish ICE.

Get off Joe Mack’s case, you impatient armchair critics.

Revenue-sharing recipients — the Brewers, Athletics, Tampa Bay Rays and Cleveland Guardians — lead four of Major League Baseball’s six divisions.
