YOU THINK MLB OWNERS PAYING PLAYERS LESS MEANS CHEAPER TICKETS FOR FANS?! 😂⚾💰

COME ON NOW!

LET ME ASK YOU SOMETHING...

IF MLB OWNERS SAVE MILLIONS ON PLAYER SALARIES...

DO YOU REALLY THINK THEY'RE GOING TO PASS THOSE SAVINGS ON TO YOU?!

CHEAPER TICKETS?!

CHEAPER PARKING?!

CHEAPER BEER?!

CHEAPER HOT DOGS?!

CHEAPER MERCHANDISE?!

I'M NOT BUYING IT!

THE OWNERS ARE GOING TO CHARGE WHAT FANS ARE WILLING TO PAY!

THAT'S HOW THE BUSINESS WORKS!

TICKET PRICES ARE DRIVEN BY DEMAND!

NOT SIMPLY BY HOW MUCH A TEAM SPENDS ON ITS PLAYERS!

SO IF THE OWNERS GET A SALARY CAP AND LIMIT PLAYER PAYROLLS...

WHAT INCENTIVE DO THEY HAVE TO LOWER YOUR TICKET PRICES?!

NONE THAT I CAN SEE!

THEY CAN KEEP CHARGING THE SAME PRICES!

AND POTENTIALLY POCKET MORE OF THE REVENUE!

THAT'S THE PART SOME BASEBALL FANS ARE MISSING!

YOU'RE ROOTING FOR BILLIONAIRE OWNERS TO PAY MILLIONAIRE PLAYERS LESS...

BUT HOW DOES THAT BENEFIT YOU?!

YOU'RE STILL PAYING TO SEE THE SAME PLAYERS!

YOU'RE STILL PAYING FOR PARKING!

YOU'RE STILL BUYING CONCESSIONS!

AND YOU'RE STILL PAYING WHATEVER THE MARKET WILL SUPPORT!

THE ONLY POTENTIAL DIFFERENCE?!

MORE MONEY STAYS WITH OWNERSHIP INSTEAD OF GOING TO THE PLAYERS!

NOW LISTEN...

I WANT BASEBALL TO BE MORE AFFORDABLE!

I WANT FAMILIES TO BE ABLE TO ENJOY GAMES WITHOUT BREAKING THE BANK!

BUT A SALARY CAP DOESN'T GUARANTEE ANY OF THAT!

IF MLB REALLY WANTS TO HELP FANS...

LET'S TALK ABOUT AFFORDABLE TICKETS!

FAMILY PACKAGES!

REASONABLE CONCESSION PRICES!

AND BETTER ACCESS TO WATCHING GAMES!

BUT DON'T TELL ME LIMITING PLAYER SALARIES AUTOMATICALLY HELPS THE PEOPLE IN THE STANDS!

BECAUSE IT DOESN'T!

SO BEFORE YOU SIDE WITH THE OWNERS IN A POTENTIAL LOCKOUT...

ASK YOURSELF...

WHAT AM I ACTUALLY GETTING OUT OF THIS?!

BASEBALL FANS...

DO YOU THINK A SALARY CAP WOULD MAKE GAMES CHEAPER?!

OR WOULD OWNERS JUST KEEP THE SAVINGS?!

LET'S TALK ABOUT IT!

LET'S GO DODGERS! 💙⚾🔥
