    Dont worry man, the kinds of games selling for that kind of money are factory sealed, never opened or seen the light of day kind of thing. I doubt that's what you were giving away to your cousins kids.

    Feels like the union is sensing some weakness in the ownership group and their very real desire not to miss any games and risk losing the expanded playoff revenue and are really going for the throat.

    This thread still hasn't passed awway yet?

    Ive read a lot of speculation and saw a graph that showed that when the current revenue sharing agreement was updated, player salaries overall started to go down. Essentially, since there's no real direction for where revenue sharing money gets spent by the recveiving teams, they just take it and pocket it rather than spending on players, which is where it was intended to be spent. Nothing concrete though. The union wants some sort of teeth in the RSA that would penalize teams that receive it and don't see any correlating player salary expenditure increases. Not like "you received 50 million in revenue sharing, your payroll needs to go up by 50 million" but something that shows these teams are using the revenue sharing for it's intended purpose.

    I don’t think it’s the meager savings in the off-season that changes anything. What’s about to change is the money they won’t be making from the new TV deals starting this year, the new ad revenues from player uniforms, the new gambling revenue and the expanded playoff revenues the players have said will be nixed if a full season doesn’t happen. The owners will give at some point this time around, there’s too much new money they’re giving up on if they don’t

    Yeah, i mean, we've already seen and experienced Jansen's worst and he was still positive value. There's nothing in Jansen's game that says he's not starting calibre anywhere in baseball.

    Freud would say it's related to some sort of repressed urge to bang your own mother.

    Granted I dont know how many people Law gets his reports from, but knowing how many sources BA, Kiley and Fangraphs have to get theirs, because they tell you... . i don't give much weight to Law's rankings at all.

    tongue may be in cheek there but it actually could be a detriment to the hitters to have 4+ days off in a row. timing could be way off for the first couple of games.

    Im still trying to figure out which posts didnt age well. Seems like theyre all fine and in the exact same condition as they were when they were posted.

    I like this. Having the top team advance gives them an advatnage to set their rotations up perfectly, and having the next two division winners pick their opponents will add a nice layer of drama and motivation to the teams getting picked.

    This tells us the meeting was not about core economic issues.

    Acuna Jr should call have called Soto and asked for negotiating tips.

    The balls on that guy….that’s some serious money to risk on me idiot pitcher that loses his grip on fastball and shatters his forearm….or runs into a wall chasing down a fly and jams a shoulder. 27 million per year is nearly UFA money. I could never turn that down in my wildest dreams

    When's the last time you can recall 4 catchers in the top 11 including the #1?
  16. John_Havok
    Naw not really, just poking the obvious holes in Manfred's libne of how owning a baseball team isn't a good investment and the owners see low returns. It's kinda laughable
  17. John_Havok
    His upper body looks noticebaly bigger as well. Hope it doesnt mess with his swing mechanics but he does look noticeably better compared to 2 years ago

    43 actually. Getting some pre-requisite classes done before hoping to get a degree in Nutrition in the next 4-ish years. The program requires 30 University level credits from certain classes before you can even apply to it. Working on Biology right now, the Diversity of Life, with 2 classes of Chemistry and 1 more english lit class to go.

    Yeah, the returns are really only expressed when the asset is sold. Until then it's just "value" sitting on a spreadsheet somewhere.

    Why could the Raps not just do the same thing? I know very little of how the NBA salary structure works.
  21. John_Havok
    Here's one way to do it: https://www.appraisaleconomics.com/sports-team-valuation-appraisal/ Coles' notes version - Over the past decade, MLB franchises have been sold for prices that equate to between approximately 1.5 and 3.0 times total revenue. Teams in larger metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) with higher levels of average disposable income, lucrative long-term cable television contracts, and new stadiums where the team has significant rights to stadium income (naming rights fees, concession sales, etc.) will command multiples at the high end of the range. Conversely, teams in smaller MSAs, with less lucrative media rights contracts, and older stadiums, typically fetch multiples at the lower end of the range.

    It's greed to ask for a pay increase while the value of the product they are providing also increases? I mean.... the nerve!!!

    Given the salry structure of the NBA, this has to be cap space related right? Young is a UFA at the end of the season so likely wont be around anyways, Eubanks is already waived... What's the real upside for the future unless it's just more cap space in exchange for moving down the draft board a bit

    Kinda sad that something like that would prevent a father from being able to work with the son due to the lcokout, but yeah... technically wouldnt be allowed. Im dealing with my own situation of a stirke right now at University, the faculty is on strike as of 11am this morning. They've been working for nearly 2 years without a contract and finally said enough was enough. So now I don't have class until it's resolved. Hopefully it wont be too long.

    AVERAGE: In 2000, the average value of an MLB team was $238 million. In 2019, the average value is $1.735 billion. This is an increase of $1.4097 billion (728%). Even cherry picking what's probably the lowest valued teams (Tampa, Oakland, Pittsburgh, Cinci)... They all show pretty nice valuation increases: https://www.statista.com/statistics/194639/mlb-franchise-value-of-the-tampa-bay-rays-since-2006/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/194631/mlb-franchise-value-of-the-pittsburgh-pirates-since-2006/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/194629/mlb-franchise-value-of-the-oakland-athletics-since-2006/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/194607/mlb-franchise-value-of-the-cincinnati-reds-since-2006/ For the big boys: https://www.statista.com/statistics/194628/mlb-franchise-value-of-the-new-york-yankees-since-2006/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/194621/mlb-franchise-value-of-the-los-angeles-dodgers-since-2006/ And Toronto https://www.statista.com/statistics/194642/mlb-franchise-value-of-the-toronto-blue-jays-since-2006/
