The Pirates owner can't do that, even if he happens to have more money than George.

this is true, but too many people think the MLB spending architecture looks like this:

Yankees/Red Sox

everyone else

when it's probably closer to

Yankees

Red Sox & a bunch of other large market teams (6 or 7 or 8?)

a bunch of mid-market teams

a bunch of small-market teams

you need to be careful with any "claims" they make. they are under no obligation to report true earnings, and their definitions may be very creative (ie not including TV money)

oh cmon, I'm far from whining, I have no complaints with the Red Sox state in MLB. I just don't like when people play the "Yankees/Red Sox vs Everyone Else" game.

I thought it was:

Yankees


Red Sox





6 or 7 teams (LAA, LAD, CHC, etc.)



mid-market teams


small market teams

If they were still making a profit why have they made a concerted effort not to spend money since then?
