That just diminishes the value of your product so much that nobody will want to pay legit prices again in the future if the team is ever decent again. This might work for A ball teams....but not so much major leagues. Would have worked a lot better in 2022 and 2023 as well...before so many fans gave up out of frustration and started to say things like I wouldn't go even if they gave away tickets for free.

Tanner’s mention of dynamic pricing led observers to imagine the chain jacking up the cost of ice-cold Frostys on parched summer afternoons, or boosting Baconator bills during the lunch rush. As backlash built, Wendy’s was forced to issue a statement, saying that the media had misconstrued the intent of its dynamic pricing plans as focused on raising prices during peak demand times. Instead, the chain maintained, the digital menuboards would allow it to “offer discounts and value offers to our customers more easily, particularly in the slower times of day.” That may have soothed the masses a little. But the reality is that implementing “dynamic discounts,” as one might refer to them, instead of surge pricing, is simply another way for a business to engage in price discrimination — the economic term for charging different costs to people who have different demand profiles in order to extract maximum profit. Yes, the stray customer who wants a Loaded Nacho Chicken Sandwich at 11 a.m. might benefit from a few cents off. But realistically, such dynamic discounts could just be used to soften the impact of future price increases. And it’s easy to imagine how that might backfire, given how fluidly people can shift gears from chain to chain if they feel like they’re not getting their money’s worth. Discounts at odd hours might pull in some marginal customers, but not knowing how much of a hit your wallet might take when you’re craving a Dave’s Double adds a layer of unnecessary anxiety to a world that already frequently feels like it’s on the brink of the existential abyss, which could push away customers more generally. https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/01/opinions/wendys-menu-dynamic-pricing-yang/index.html

Matt Chapman to Giants...3 years, "just" $54 million. -
https://www.sfgate.com/giants/article/brandon-crawford-departure-farhan-zaidi-fault-18698540.php SF Giants seem to be taking the opposite approach with their veteran players...thinking that moving on will make it easier for young players feeling there's a margin of error or comfort level with an established between on the roster trying to take their starting spot back.

Oh no they didn’t. Brielle's husband-to-be, who hails from Newton, Massachusetts, is a relief pitcher. After graduating from Duke University in 2022, Billy was drafted by the White Socks, and he now plays for their minor league team, the Kinneapolis Cannon Ballers. The 24-year-old went public with his romance with Brielle in April of 2023. Brielle first shared a photo with Billy on her Instagram grid in February 2024. https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/brielle-biermann-answers-burning-questions-164919733.html -

Truly inspirational stuff. The marketing department must want to put out a figurative hit on him at this point.
