The winning teams viewership has to outweigh the teams who can't have nice things or in a forever rebuild. With price of streaming that will always go up eventually people just stop. I can no longer justify the price of even a spring training ticket. How many people can turn on a TV to watch a game without having an upgrade type package. It still lags compared to the NFL and NBA. Post season wins matter. The Brewers are the best record team that falls short.

that's also what happens when a fan buys a ticket

Isn't it fun to always talk about players we will never get?

filed under they have no clue what they are doing

Waiting for the teams in their division to get weaker.

But this is the White Sox we are talking about,,,,,,,,they don't do such things

not exactly a Sox trademark but more often like the other F word

Moncada had a solid 2025 - how does one define that? He played in 30 games?

As for some fans it always relates to how the Cubs do. Rejoicing in another team's failures - yawn. Competitive should only mean making it to the post season regularly. The Brewers are competitive. Close but not playing in Oct. with expanded playoffs is mediocre. Our bar is always much lower.

I just don't want to walk in those shoes. I'd rather guess at lottery numbers.

I wish I was giddy about this. The only positive it is someone new. He's not a proven MLB player. If he fails I understand why Reinsdorf is reluctant to spend money. The organization is not good at scouting in the big leagues. If he is a success after one year I assume they will trade him. That's the typical pattern of budget teams. Small market fans are so conditioned to this. Those fans can never have nice things. I think that really hurts baseball.

Just think the Sox offered him more money.

I would say that was the biggest change in 2025. A 100 loss Venable team was worth watching compared to a 100 loss Grifol team.

LOL! A contradiction on your part. Ever heard of HISTORY. Nice try,,,,,,,,,,,yawn! I will say it until I'm proven 100% wrong. It's what all budget teams do.

these deals are always orchestrated to eventually make Birmingham better. I wouldn't expect miracles the 1st season. Learning pitchers is not overnight and will take at least a season.
