Jeter’s business model has payrolls well below MLB average, then a big jump in 2021

That "big jump" will probably still be in the lower half of the league come 2021 as far as payroll rankings go.

 

 

[FutureGM]

Yeah it feels to me like they are staking the future of the team on a TV contract, which at this point I'm not sure why anyone would want to pay much for it. The Dodgers have had issues with their vaunted TV deal, so it's probably not going to be the savior they think it will be.

 

 

[Das Texan]

I feel like even sponsorship and advertising might not even be as lucrative as they are expecting it to be. There just isn't enough local interest in the team, especially when it's losing.

 

They almost appear to be making the some mistakes we saw with Samson and Loria. Why weren't they ever able to secure stadium naming rights?

 

which kinda makes gutting the roster stupider.  

 

Shouldnt you at least be keeping interest up as high as you can if you are hoping to sell someone on a tv contract?

 

Why would Fox then have wanted to bid such a higher amount for a product nobody would give a fuck about?

 

 

[FutureGM]

They have no leverage for a future TV deal. Keeping Stanton and at least having a marketable star would have been smart, but now who do you market the team around? Yelich isn't long for this franchise.

 

 

[SilverBullet]

Well at least they do plan to increase payroll but yeah this Wolverine stuff has me pretty skeptical and I know I've been very vocal in being patient and supportive of Jeter thus far but this whole thing feels like he's missing a huge piece of the puzzle.

Bud Selig would have forced the sale to Mas folks btw, given his huge preference for local ownership.  

 

Just chew on that for a few minutes.

Can I add some hot sauce to it?

Pick whatever condiment you'd like.

I don't like the word condiment. Sounds vulgar.

I've always thought the same. Not joking. Glad to hear someone else think it too.

Maybe you and I should go out to dinner and say "ew" loudly if the waiter offers us condiments.

Also Selig didn't allow New Era to put their fucking logo on On-Field caps

Thought of you today. Prepping for a bbq I went to the store and needed mustard. I asked an employee where the mustard was and he said "Condiments are in aisle 4." ...I just walked out.

Man if I had ADD and stopped reading here, I'd be really confused why mustard made you think of me.
