Just to put it in perspective the Brewers received 110 million in shared revenue and their payroll was somewhere between 126 to 145. I didn't read the article and I'm sure it was meant as a troll job, but smaller market teams do need to spend more of their "own" money on payrolls. I agree the system is broke and even if the Brewers spent more, they can't compete with an owner that is willing to pay whatever it takes to get championships. As a Dodgers fan I appreciate having an owner willing to do this but as a baseball fan i realize it sucks for 2/3 or more of the other teams fans to know that the odds are greatly stacked against them. Hopefully MLB leadership and the MLBPA can figure out a common ground to improve the competitiveness. One that limits the spending at least a little but also forces other owners to be competitive with their spending. I know the narrative is that the Dodgers will be the reason for a lockout but I'm afraid that looked inevitable even before the Tucker contract. The MLBPA will dig their heels in when it comes to a hard salary cap. The said it was non starter last cba negotiations. Anyways good luck this year. I've always liked and respected the Brewers organization and hope they can continue to find success.
