Or maybe ... and stay with me here ... they've determined that Kimbrel is asking for way too much, and the production doesn't equal the cost. The team has a record payroll (by far actually), yet there are still fans complaining that they aren't spending more. This team has been a contender more often than it hasn't under Attanasio's ownership, yet we have fans that are calling him a cheap liar. I'm sorry, but that is just flat out wrong. Then why tell a fan we’re trying to get him? If that’s the case just say you’ve moved on. Their payroll as a % of their revenue(now this is truly record- breaking, their revenue) isn’t record breaking. The payroll is, that’s all. There are much worse owners in baseball than Attanasio, but don’t play the fans, and say what’s really not true. Be honest. You literally don’t know Jack-squat about what he’s willing to do or not. Stop attacking him on the basis of little to no facts that you try to bring up in every dang thread around here. MA has been a great owner for Milwaukee and if you’re blinded by the fact that he also is a business owner that wants to continue to build his wealth then I don’t knows what to tell ya. He’s not “playing” anyone. You fall over every word said by him, TomH or whoever else doesn’t agree with your agenda as to where YOU see the payroll or to how YOU think improvements shouldn’t be made to the club.
