How many people can afford a ticket? These people are as bad as corporations.

stated in the OP. They just don't do that, although if they want to win some more World Series, they probably need to.

I believe. He HAS to produce.

If he doesn't get Judge, with the same money he could buy a new infield, new outfield, a few pitchers, a backup catcher and 40,000 bags of baseballs. But no sparkle.

Just some random YouTuber who posted the MLB video and added their own clickbait title. If you watch the video, it's just speculation about where Judge will go and how big his contract might be.

It won't help them to the WS. Not enough help at other positions and now they don't have the money to fill them.

Yankees fans don't much care for the Mets. What will they do now, that their hero, who they've supported all these years, is suddenly playing for them?

... better every year. Even in a stadium, an MLB ballgame is too full of breaks and sideshows.

I find it laughable that the majors, in an effort to "speed up the game" is experimenting with a 20-second pitching clock.

Wanna speed up the game? Quit the circus and stop breaking up the middle of the innings with commercials.

How in the hell can a team get a rally going with so many stops in the action.

I'm done with the NFL, and I'm pretty much done with MLB, too.
