<p dir="auto">On one hand, it's understandable that team owners want to make money.</p>
<p dir="auto">On the other, if you have $100B, eating $50-$100M a year to make a decent team is not a big deal.  If you create a competitive team, you will draw fans.  To paraphrase the saying:  'If you build it, they will come'.  <img src="https://forums.theshow.com/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f609.png?v=f10d730fb49" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-android emoji--wink" style="height:1.4em;width:auto;vertical-align:middle" title=":wink:" alt="😉" /></p>

Never. If that's true, then the Mets are lined up perfectly.</p>

<p dir="auto">I just read something today that basically said any team with money is lined up to make an offer.  <img src="https://forums.theshow.com/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f604.png?v=f10d730fb49" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-android emoji--smile" style="height:1.4em;width:auto;vertical-align:middle" title=":smile:" alt="😄" /></p>

<p dir="auto">The most interesting thing I've heard, is the Dodgers saying they won't make an offer to Skubal because they are anxious about the impending salary cap.</p>
<p dir="auto">Since when have we heard of LA worried about salary?  <img src="https://forums.theshow.com/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f923.png?v=f10d730fb49" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-android emoji--rolling_on_the_floor_laughing" style="height:1.4em;width:auto;vertical-align:middle" title=":rolling_on_the_floor_laughing:" alt="🤣" /></p>
