Forty years ago MLB teams opened their books to an independent economist and were proven to be lying liars who lied.
Until they open their books that way again, let that be your default assumption about any claims they — and their media water carriers — make about their finances.

I invite any MLB owner to open their books and show the public how much money their teams lost in 2025. They won’t, because it’s a lie.
No team has EVER sold for less than it was purchased for. Do not fall for crocodile tears from billionaires who are already getting a Trump tax cut!

Sorry but this is such bullshit. The Yankees absolutely turned a profit this year. Moving money around shell companies to show a loss for tax purposes doesn’t count here!

@BrendanKutyNJ Was it fair to assume the Yankees turned a profit this year?
"No, it's not actually," Hal Steinbrenner said.
The New York Yankees? Not profitable?

J.J. McCarthy now ranks 851 out of 852 in EPA per Dropback among qualified passers since 2000, per Tru Media. The only player below McCarthy is JaMarcus Russell.

Rob Manfred was legit forced to sell off valuable assets to cover a giant hole he created and he's spinning that panic selloff as financial victory. Keep that in mind when he and the owners start talking about financial responsibility and shit during the upcoming labor battle.

Rob Manfred's ineptitude cost MLB a billion bucks in ESPN money, to make up for it he's selling off MLB dot TV to ESPN, and now he's claiming that makes up for it? What if he had NOT fucked up and lost a billion dollars and STILL sold MLB dot TV? Would that not have been better?

If you think Heathcliff is the epitome of a romantic hero, you need to reread the book.
That man violently abuses his wife, locks up a teenager away from her dying father and forces her into a bad marriage so he get her money, hangs a dog, abuses his own son, delierately degrades Hareton...

November 18, 2000: Vancouver's Michael Dickerson slams home a half-court lob pass from Mike Bibby.
Dickerson finished with 18 PTS and Bibby had 11 AST, but the Mavericks defeated the Grizzlies, 91-88. Dirk Nowitzki and Hubert Davis each scored 20 PTS for Dallas.

My annual reminder that Andy Pettitte took PEDs and lied about it multiple times, giving half-truths each time new information turned up that he could not deny.
Which is to say that you should ignore anyone who supports his Hall of Fame case while knocking Manny, A-Rod, etc. for PED use/dishonesty.
