I guess my major reason for posting all this Root crap is that I don't see it as a negative. Taking full ownership should give Mariners a brand new avenue to bigger and better things. Why not partner with Prime who is trying to buy RSN companies? Or set up their own streaming service and sell subscriptions per month or per season? There has to be an upside to this for them and hopefully for fans. I guess I am missing something....like always.

This is my hang up too.

A. Why is root only reliant on cable subscribers

B. This should free them up from the corporate crap to go straight to consumer. Sure it will take money, but they are in Seattle, one of their biggest sponsors is Microsoft and there is this little ma and pa shop down the road called Amazon.

C. I still don’t get how this really hurts the Mariners. Ballys issue was they promised money to teams and aren’t able to make those payments. The Mariners promised other teams money. It doesn’t appear that Roots can’t honor their deals it just appears they won’t make as much money as they “projected”. Which again goes back to my how smart are they if they are a team in Seattle and couldn’t see cord cutting might catch up with them.

We are on the same page on this one. Should be interesting....as interesting as this offseason has been...

 

[ulmax]

From my point of.view.there is.no. .reason.
To hold back on trades..

My other thing I forgot to say, the NBA is asking for north of 55 billion for their next tv rights deal….so how much money did the Mariners offer to the Blazers that makes them broke? Sounds like it was an overpay for the Kraken. Such irony that the network is “failing” because of the Blazers when the Mariners group spend millions on blocking the Sonics from coming back
