Buddha/Rabbi- once again we are singing from the same choir book. I am so interested in what you’re going to do here because I have felt the same way for years. Obviously the Angel’s Dodgers comparison is part of that. I have a good friend who’s a White Sox fan and I can only imagine what you’re going to say about their owners. And then help me understand Steve Cohen. He seems like a smart, nice rich guy. What’s up with that? I look forward to reading more.
Looking forward to this project- seems that some teams ( The Cubs come to mind) do the bare minimum because they make gobs of money no matter how good the team is on the field. Happy New Year 🎈
I get you're not so much into the advanced metrics, but you better believe I want the front office of my favorite team (Royals) to be into them. I think another organization of mention is the Rays. Their organization, despite their shitty ball field, is about as shrewd as you can get and they capitalize on it with sustained success. What scares me is the Dodgers and seemingly the Yankees have operated similarly, but also have the spending power to outbid almost anyone.

Totally agree, they better have an analytics department.
As a relative newcomer to baseball fanship, owners aren't something I've gotten into yet, so I'm looking forward to your series.
Have a Happy New Year and a great 2026!
