This is me on the acquisition of Todd Walker to play third base.

I think the most rabid fans find a way to buy a team........ I don't think you buy a team in this day and age unless you're a complete freak of a fan

Look at Mark Cuban and what he's done to Dallas.

[padrefanforever]

Mark Cuban is a very different sort.........the vast majority of owners aren't like him and don't like him..... not really apples to apples

Plus I'm not sure Cuban has better things to do anymore LOL

[Rufio181]

Or Steinbrenner. That's a better reference, since he's a baseball owner.

[padrefanforever]

Steinbrenner bought a franchise for something like 250M and now it's worth is in the billions.....it funds itself.....hardly the same thing

[padrefanforever]

Compare this team to other mid level / market teams

Moores wouldn't mind spending ~150 mil/year on payroll if he owned the New York Yankees...

[padrefanforever]

Yeah........had Moores turned about a billion liquid on his team.....I'd wager he'd be pushing the lux tax also
