Only $10 for all 2024 SX, MX, and SMX series (regularly $30).
Only to be increased by the next guy there has to be a way for it to stop who's going to be able to afford to go to a ball game when these players are making this ridiculous amount of money?
YzKen250X- I haven’t heard about trouts 2020 contract projections, but the way this shit has been going it wouldn’t surprise me one bit. Trout will get paid. Period.

It's all crazy shit. Over my head. Where does all this fucking money come from? $12 beer?
Most baseball stadiums are just as empty as supercross races. That cost sharing thing must help. You just wonder what kinda total revenue intake baseball creates every year. From the stadiums. To gambling. Crazy.
They might be getting underpaid in fact. I’ll never understand the common man siding with billionaires who got rich from exploiting labor. We should be rooting for the employees in this case, not being jealous of them.
And as to why the players get a 10 yr contract when we all know they wont deliver in years 6 thru 10? It’s because that player was severely underpaid in years 1-5 while on their rookie deals (if you don’t believe it, just look at Kyler Murray who chose football of all sports because it pays more at the rookie level than baseball currently). It all levels out in the end.
The real question we should be asking ourselves is why the sport as a whole generates so much revenue. Not complaining that the players get a fraction of those profits.
The reality is, look at the Yankees. They collect $7/mo from 14 million subscribers for their TV network. That’s $98mm a month. Fuck. At least the player has to step up to the plate and deliver. What did Hank Steinbreiner ever accomplish other than win the sperm lottery?
$98mm/mo is a lot of dough. Someone should get paid it. Especially the actual labor force. That is unless you’re one of those non existent employees that thinks your own employer overpays you.
Complaining about it but then watching the Workd Series makes no sense.
After listening to him, not only did the economics make sense, all of a sudden you realized that baseball teams could afford to pay a star $50mm a year and it still pencils out.
Salaries have not kept up proportionately with inflation or growth in overall revenue the sport generates.
What I’ve always found so interesting is how on one end you got rich people skimming to hide cash from taxes and concurrently you have other rich people (cartels) who work very hard to launder their money. Kinda funy dichotomy.
Guaranteed 300mil vs betting on yourself.
Why? Taxes & cost of living.
Harper’s money goes a LOT further in Philly than any major California city.
Pay them what you will, but once beers hit $6.00 a 12 oz. , I'm watching from home.
