Message: [QUOTE="Alsacs, post: 3679629, member: 652"] Yeah why try to actually win. Nobody is saying to spend 300 million dollars but their a lot of guys worth signing. The owners don’t spend on the middle class players to keep salaries down. Guys like Trevor Bauer, JT Realmuto, George Springer are all 100 million dollar contract guys no matter the short term economics. DJ LeMahieu, Marcel Ozuna, Masahiro Tanaka, Didi Gregorius are worth multi year deals. Baseball owners don’t care to win. So they won’t spend any money outside of the Padres and Mets right now. The money will be there if teams actually want to win. Fans who side with owners over players are just playing into the owners hand. Baseball owners would have cancelled the season if they lost money. The added postseason round brought in a lot of TV money that the owners didn’t share with players. It’s obvious revenues were down but for the market to be this ice cold is garbage. [/QUOTE]
