@ThatAstrosGirl Sorry to hear that u r feeling that way. Not going to pretend I know what it's like to parent on ur own, but I follow u and @camibrown1984 bc ur love for baseball, and from doing that I've witnessed the group of friends u all have, so I hope u c that ur not alone!
If MLB had the same soft-cap system the NBA uses in 2025 …
Salary cap: $180.5 million
Salary floor: $162.4 million
Luxury tax threshold: $219.2 million
Nine teams would have been over the luxury tax threshold (LAD, NYM, NYY, PHI, TOR, HOU, TEX, SDP, ATL)
Three teams would have been over the soft cap but under the luxury tax threshold (CHC, LAA, BOS)
15 — FIFTEEN! — teams would have been below the salary floor (BAL, DET, MIL, KCR, STL, MIN, COL, CIN, WSH, CLE, TBR, PIT, CHW, ATH, MIA)
In 2024, MLB players received 47% of MLB’s $12.1 billion in revenue. NBA players earn between 49-51% of their league’s revenue. THAT’S how every team can afford to spend above the floor. MORE money has to be paid to players. And this is a bad thing? Why?
@TrinityBlair02 Absolutely beautiful state! but if u want to go out for a drink, u have to prepare like ur going to some horrible frat party with their by-law rules to get into a bar 🍻
My sister needs a kidney transplant. We’re grateful for the love so far and I am sharing her update filled with hope. Every share/retweet helps 💚
