    I'd doubt rather seriously that anyone would disagree with that - of course, that's a big part of the way you accumulate enough money to afford to buy a professional sports franchise too.

    Don't forget - none of what I mentioned above begins to address the money MLB/owners have agreed to pay minor leaguers and prospects while they're not playing either. It's not nearly in the same stratosphere, but eventually all the money going out with none coming in takes a toll - the folks that own your local watering hole aren't paying bartenders to fetch you a beer when you're not allowed to hang out at the bar (nor can they afford to).
    Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...

    Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?

    I think this episode is really going to speed along the proposed reduction in minor league franchises. There are going to be a ton of minor league free agents hitting the bricks.

    I cancelled and requested a refund today and they emailed back and said they would issue the refund in 5-7 D.

    Hoping I have similar luck with NBA League Pass.

    Update: Refund went through.

    Unless you have an undying loyalty to Rob Manfred and MLB, I suggest everyone here cancel their MLBTV subscriptions until the season starts (and even then I say go month to month).
