NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

I am with you it could be an overpay but it isn’t for what you mention. They will make so much off Ohtani and he is the arguably the best superstar since Bonds. Totally worth it.

Yeah, there definitely isn't an established market for him because this is the first time we've seen something like this. It's uncharted territory.

Teams with lack of market and cheap ownership have zero chance unless everything goes their way. A team like the Rays is a perfect example. No fans/lack of revenue but they make great moves, develop players and beneficial trades. They made a WS but there is a clear ceiling. It is basically impossible to compete. I would think the same way if my team was a big spender. Other sports have these rules and that makes baseball unique and it wasn’t so lopsided years ago but it is now.

Imo, if a team can't make what they need to in order to compete...move. If they have an owner who can't/won't spend...fans can pressure them to start spending or sell the team. I'm against punishing a team because they have an owner who will spend in a market that can sustain it. I'd feel the same if I was a fan of a small market team.

I will say though, that I do like leagues having a salary floor so teams have to at least try to put together competitive rosters.

They get the money back with marketing him in Japan and the US though

True and they've shown they'll spend what they have to.

Plus, it ain't my money. lol

Time to establish a cap ceiling and floor, MLB

Nope.

 

[fightinfunbags]

Those are just unserious baseball franchises that don’t care about their fanbases and are stealing money with the exception of Orioles who are this cheap because of their rebuild and youth movement.

Army/Navy where a completed 7 yard out is a big play of razzle dazzle.

People don't want to say it because its Army and Navy, but most of the time is completely garbage football. Everyone would shit all over it if it was two FCS directional teams playing. All you're hoping for is its close in the final minutes. That's the only time its worth watching
