True enough, but I would argue the Moores has no problem with this business model because he gets a piece of that pie!! and, how productive are the top 11 players on our team vs. the Yanks??
And 8 of those 11 players are free agents after this season (only Peavy, Young and Green are signed longer than that).
get out!!!??? then we should dump them now! Maybe we could get lucky with some minor league players in a trade :icon_shrug:
