Quote from: wadesworld on December 09, 2025, 02:09:50 PMThe Cardinals were 15th in revenue in 2024, dead center of the 30 teams.  If the Dodgers reinvested, say, 47.4% of their revenue back into their payroll (which is what the Twins, at 15th in Payroll/Revenue, "reinvest"), the Cardinals would have to reinvest 95.6% of it's revenue to have the same payroll.

Or, put another way, if the Cardinals reinvested the same 73% of their revenue that the Dodgers do, their payroll would still have been $276.7MM behind the Dodgers' 2025 payroll.

Nothing wrong with the system at all.

Per Forbes, the Dodgers operating income was $21 million in 2024, good for 13th in MLB.
You know who made more?
The Brewers at $24 million.
Reds, $29 million
Tigers, $30 million
Rays, $32 million
Marlins, $38 million
Pirates, $47 million

When small market teams stop raking in profits that exceed those of the world champs, I'll take their cries of poor more seriously. Most of these teams receive far more via revenue sharing than they invest in payroll.
I'm not opposed to additional revenue sharing, but some of these teams aren't using the revenue they already get on payroll. What makes you think that would change with more?
MLB should be more interested in getting the frugal teams to spend more than putting restrictions on the big spenders.

As for the Cardinals, maybe they need to put a better product on the field. Their yearly attendance has dropped by more than a million over the past decade while their payroll has remained largely stagnant. Perhaps there's a correlation?

Signing with LA for only $3M more, I think Edwin just wanted to leave.

Not impressed.

A $400M gift to the HBCUs would impress me.

Add points, rebounds, assists, steals blocks, subtract turnovers and divide by minutes played.

Not easy to compete these days.

And the 300 million dollar donation to Kansas may be in part why the top JUCO Defensive Lineman in the nation decommitted from WI and is going to Kansas next year.

Quote from: BM1090 on December 09, 2025, 01:18:02 PMWant to bet on it?
21 games to go with 5 losses to date.
The BET will be one loss automatically unless we win the championship so that makes it 6 losses to date.
So 20 - 6 = 14 more losses.
Or need 8 more victories out of 21 games for a total 19 losses.
We have 10 home games left.
Will we win 8 more?
Might be a decent bet, but I could never bet against MU and root against my team and I don't feel confident they will get 8 more wins.

I love this brand new phenomenon where Marquette can no longer compete with the blue bloods like Michigan state, duke and Kentucky on the recruiting front.
