4.5 billion net worth for Cleveland owners. 200 mil every year from tv and they don’t spend it on players. You can say what you want about money spent after 200 mil but if you’re not spending the tv money on salaries you aren’t trying

Guardians ownership is cheap. Simple as

And some other research shows that the Guardians brought in an estimated $315M for 2024 with operating costs around $52M. So combined with the $106M team payroll, that’s a total of $158M in expenses, making their profit $157M - a nearly 100% profit margin. Y’all could easily have a $300M team. Your team owner’s just cheap.

The reason Cleveland lost is because their strength, their bullpen, became their biggest weakness in this series. Payroll had nothing to do with it.

“Under the new collective bargaining agreement (CBA) negotiated in 2022, each MLB team pools 48 per cent of local revenues with the total amount split equally between all 30 teams. This results in each team taking in 3.3 per cent of the total—an estimated $110 million USD, if not more. Teams also receive a share of national revenues, totalling around $90 million USD per team.”

Salary is what made Clase crap the bed? Of all the names mentioned in both our posts, I know who is over pald if success in the playoffs is the barometer.

The owners of the guardians are just as rich as the Yankees owner. Tell the ownership to pay the man.

If you have good players it doesn't matter. The Yankees just decide to pay the players and the luxury taxx. The Indians could pay that but choose not to

Money doesn’t buy you happiness, nor championships.
