Warning: slight political statement coming. Don't get triggered.

The Dodgers are the most American franchise there is, and baseball is the sport where the monetary system most resembles America.

The haves have so, so, so much. And the system is rigged for them to keep it. The have nots have to do everything perfectly, and even then it isn't very likely to be enough.

Can’t argue about any of this. Well said Duncan!

The years when the Royals were in committee receivership -the Allard Baird years before David Glass- the Royals told the fans "hey, just be happy you get to watch MLB in KC. You get to see the stars for all the other teams play here!" Yeah, well... I'm afraid we're going right back to that situation. The Royals are a AAAA team, and players like Bobby Witt Jr. will be gone first chance he gets, like Damon or Beltran. I've seen this movie.

Fire up the 2024 thread!

Accurate post is accurate.

Is there a 2024 Royals thread?

Thumbs down was an accident but I fixed your link.
