I am not a fan of the "buy a team" competition that exists today, but the Rangers and Diamondbacks proved the game is still played on the field. Thanks for the inside info that continues to baffle me. I will have to see Lynn and Gray as an improvement to the rotation, but spring always makes believers of cynical folks like me. Every team is a contender in March.

To be fair, I don't think they've used the attendance excuse very often. Hard to do when you are bringing in over 3 million, though I do think there have been a few times, maybe last year, where the actual hasn't hit budget. They are more reliant on attendance than some teams.
Everything that they mention is a factor. It's also fair to question how much of a factor it really should be.
I've been trying to follow whole Bally Sports mess. I wouldn't be surprised at all if they got payroll shy because of the uncertainty of Bally Sports (or Diamond Sports). And I could understand why they are nervous about it. If I was in their shoes, I would be too.
Of course, saying something at the end of the season about payroll and backing down, is in their DNA also.
Very much so. As I noted, they tend to not say much so if they are going to be specific like this, they should have factored in outside forces as much as possible.

Well,well,well,If it isn't the excuse of attendance,now it's the fees from tv. It's always something with the DeWitts...

Still, in the end, it's frustrating.
