Got him now
Contracts in baseball are a joke. No salary cap so who cares.
Pathetic team the Red Sox were fielding for having most expensive tickets.
They better spend every dollar...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Triple-A_baseball_stadiums

those are just AAA stadiums, but i would think they would be a bit bigger than the lower class stadiums.
only a couple in mexico come close at 26k and 27k.

edit: also found this

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._baseball_stadiums_by_capacity

and LOL at the LLWS stadium holding more people than 7 MLB team stadiums.

You can call it a joke all you want but baseball contracts are only up 60% while team revenue is up 120%.

I don't see you crying about all the money the owners are making.

Im not crying about contracts lmao. The numbers are starting to get crazy is all.
With no cap, sign everyone.... If it fails, all he has to do is be willing to use more green, no?
Im actually crying at the owners not spending....
I don't care what they make. It's irrelevant to me, but if you're charging top dollar to field shit, field a better team or reduce prices. NESN ratings are going way down for a reason.
Finishing last again is not an option for what the fans have to pay.

Oh and about the contract Price got.
We gave him the option to opt out after year 3 or 4? Whatever it is, how fucking awful is that?
If he sucks, he'll just pick up the option. If he dominates, he'll opt out and get an even bigger pay day..
Am I seeing it wrong?

He won't opt out. Nobody is giving him 4/124 in three years.
