2017 marked the third consecutive season in which MLB attendance declined. In fact, it went below 73 million for the first time since 2002. You need to realize that attendance has declined for 5 out of the past 6 years (Maury Brown Forbes Magazine). It’s not huge, but it is a decline… almost half a million less in 2017 over 2016. Major league baseball attendance has declined 8.59% since 2000. …
MLB.com listed some prospects who just missed the Top 100. Among them were the Dodgers own Mitchell White. They had this to say about him: Mitchell White, RHP, Dodgers White had Tommy John surgery after graduating from high school and didn’t start to take off until late in his redshirt sophomore season at Santa Clara in 2016, which is why he lasted 65 picks in the Draft that June. He…
Scott Borass is all about Scott Borass. He can say he is just looking after his client’s best interests, but in a free agent market, the top free agents “set the market” and Borass said his top three free agents were worth $200 million dollar contracts. I drive a 2013 Ford F-150 which now has 94,000 miles on it. I take good care of my vehicles and it still looks…
Here it is just about two weeks from players starting to report to Spring Training and they are getting the lockers ready at Camelback Ranch. The LA Beatwriters continue to sat that it is unlikely that Matt Kemp will be on the Opening Day Roster, but I happen to think Matt Kemp will be on the Opening Day Roster… unless: 1. He is physically unable to perform; 2. He is…
Notice the resemblance? I think they look alike… It’s the color of their eyes and their smiles! But, I digress! Once upon a time…. there was a young boy who played basketball and baseball in high school, but seemed to be destined to play in the NBA as he was a standout at basketball, winning two state championships in a row. He was raised by his mother and grandmother who…
… and Scott Boras is apt put out a hit on Andrew at any time. Andrew should consider getting Secret Service protection. Currently, the Secret Service protects the most hated man in the America and Friedman is currently the most hated man among agents. What? Who? Why? The lack of movement in the Hot Stove League, especially among the upper-echelon free agents falls squarely at the feet of one Andrew…
There are a lot of Dodger fans who regard me as a heretic when I try and say that Clayton Kershaw will go down in history as the LA Dodgers Greatest Of All Time as a pitcher. But, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it! So, as we start, let’s get this over with: Career Records Sandy Koufax – 12 Seasons * 2,324 IP *2,396 K * 165 Wins…
You may think that the Dodgers WANT to get under the Luxury Tax Threshold purely to save money and that is absolutely true, but there’s another aspect to getting under the $197 million number: If they don’t, they will likely be in violation of baseball’s “Debt Service Rule.” Major League Teams must comply with certain debt to asset ratios, and while the Dodger assets are high, so is their debt….
I frequently hear this: “This is the same Dodger Team as Last Year.” “The Dodgers are standing pat.” I guess some people think that if they say it enough, it will become true. If that’s the case, keep repeating over-and-over that you are Brad Pitt. Poof, it will happen! READ THIS SLOWLY: This is not the SAME team as last year. Is it better? I don’t know…. MAYBE. Maybe not,…
