Essentially, what's the point of being a Twins, Pirates, Rays, etc. fan when you have to hope the stars align perfectly to have a 1 or 2 year window? Only 5-6 teams spend any big-time money and at this point teams are all using data and analytics, etc. There's no secret sauce anymore and if I was, like, a Pirates fan, I'd say, "what's the point?"

At least 70% of MLB owners don't actually care if the team wins and that's pathetic.

It seems like we're heading for quite the work stoppage once the current CBA expires.  Players would be crazy not to get a salary floor out of any future deal.
