Royals Now that Donald Sterling is gone, is David Glass now the worst owner in pro sports?

PunkinDrublic · 05-06-2014, 05:18 PM

Obviously you can't blame the Royalys historic futility on Glass but his cheapness definitely prolonged it. I say he's defiantly top 5.

stonedstooge · 05-06-2014, 05:23 PM

Too bad GlASS doesn't have a girlfriend on the side

BryanBusby · 05-06-2014, 05:24 PM

Top 5? Yeah. Worst? No.

David Glass isn't white knighting his teams racist name.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 05-06-2014, 05:32 PM

He might not be the worst owner in his parking lot.

Nope.

Hes got to be bottom 3 for sure. No sense of urgency and a complete lack of passion.

10 years ago this might have been true. Glass is not even in the same stratosphere as Jeffrey Loria though.

People still act like it's 2001. That might even hurt the team because it takes heat off the GM. The Royals haven't traded away a player for financial reasons since Beltran, and that was 10 years ago now. They have spent MLB record amounts in the draft, and spent a lot of money in Latin America. They put up the money for the Greinke, Soria, Gordon, Butler and Perez contracts. Other than that first year with all the young contracts, Hosmer, Moose, etc... payroll has usually been above the other small market teams. And that's considering the Royals are near the bottom in revenue and are locked into an awful TV contract.

Meanwhile teams like the Rays, A's, Pirates, Rockies all have had plenty of success, playoffs, pennants, etc....while spending less money. I'd have no problem with a new owner but it sure shouldn't be used as a crutch if Dayton Moore gets fired.

Are we judging based on results on the field as well? Loria might be an asshole, but his teams have had some success on the field at times. Glass...........

IMO, I think Redskins owner Dan Snyder is worse.

Still no excuse for not willing to spend money on top free agents which he could easily afford to do but won't. The fact that he had to be prodded into spending money says a lot.

Really? When? Yeah he bought a team already loaded with prospects and won a World Series, and that was after running the Expos out of Montreal.

Didn't the Marlins win it all in 97 and 2003 I think? or am I wrong?
