There is concern that those franchises have to operate that way due to the paltry fan support… but at some point, fans are also drawn by names/players, not simply the uniform. In general, those fan bases are conditioned to not get attached to any young player/star because they know they’ll never be a career player with them.
Eh. We really going to complain about million+ dollar salaries? Let's raise the min wage to the average Rays player salary.
Amazingly silly as well. Oakland outsold Giants games consistently until the 2010s, and it seems like half of the MLB comes from Central/Northern Flordia.
Buck with his usual "delete game". Keep being you Same way there's hofs then there's HOFs... the Gnats are a 10th time ballot election

You sure about that? Weren’t the Giants winning World Series some of those years… and then they had the Bonds love fest for the years prior?
There is no such thing as a "cheap", or whatever you called it, World Series Champion. It's just a ridiculous thing to even mention.
they do have success, they pocket the revenue sharing, they don’t invest that back in the team/facilities, they don’t have a fan base.
They don't have a fanbase because they're so cheap. Nearly a quarter of major league talent comes out of Florida (and not out of Miami). Its the 4th largest state by population in the Union and still nobody shows up to their games. For as much as everyone claims to love "moneyball", nobody wants to be the A's of the 21st century.
