And he has the unbelievable hubris to say that baseball just isn't that profitable. Like he should've taken the $120 million that he immediately recouped by selling parking garages and just shoved it into savings bonds instead.
What a massive prick. Stingy bastard won't bail out his dipshit GM for his neverending streak of stupid FA acquisitions and unnecessary contract extensions because he's gotten used to printing money but he'll cry poor when it comes to actually playing baseball.
So very done with Bill DeWitt. |
With all of them.
I love baseball. I live it and bleed it, as everyone here knows.
But **** these owners with their bullshit. I'd rather not see a season than see the players capitulate and take deals that protect the profit margins of the owners while shuffling all the costs to the players.
Thankfully John Sherman has taken good care of his minor league guys and his organization, so at least my team's owner isn't being an unmitigated prick.
