NFL, NBA and NHL salaries keep going up which refutes your premise. Their salary caps come with salary floors guaranteeing players revenue. I’m not defending baseball owners, but you’re living in NY, LA or on Mars if you don’t see problems with some teams paying payrolls twice as high as others.

In ‘84, I stood at the Humphrey Terminal fence waiting for the plucky team to arrive after their legendary choke in Cleveland. Carl Pohlad was there so I asked if we’d get a relief pitcher for Christmas. He muttered “there’ll be lots of things.” It was three years before they mercifully got Reardon.

But that begs the question, why would they keep it and why would anybody buy in?

Falvey got only a brief mention. Does he seem canny to you, Aaron? Do other execs like talking with him?

One might think the easiest and first thing AI would be able to do is figure out how to work the thing it’s programmed on. Sadly no.
