It sure seemed like it!
-
I told you not to cheer for Willy! He doesn't care about you, Milwaukee!
-
Well, of course we know the government has not been fair to small businesses under certain regimes…but, I will not get political here.
-
Game hasn't started.

Yes, that fair market ... a small mom and pop firm can grow and offer things the larger firms cannot offer, too -- more autonomy, ability to diversify in one's employment (instead of being pigeon-holed/cookie-cuttered). They can offer a better product than the big firms who don't listen to their customers wishes as well, very often, too. If they don't do those things, then they don't deserve to be able to compete well. In the MLB, the Brewers can do everything perfectly in their business and not be able to compete well in the postseason when star pitchers will be faced far more with shortened rotations AND the best way to overcome that is with a holster of star pitchers on your own roster with all-star hitters who might stand a chance against the star pitchers that playoff teams more regularly have to face off against. We cannot retain all-star talent (hitting and pitching) nearly as well as the big market teams can! Sabathia, gone. Burnes, gone! Hader, gone! Williams, gone! Adames, gone! Prince Fielder, gone! Carlos Lee, gone! Etc, Etc. The stars shine brightest in the postseason, no doubt! We must catch lightning in a bottle with young, rising stars before they bolt for the big money, elsewhere.

In a general sense where the market is free and fair, I agree! BUT, the MLB is NOT fair-- it is geared for the big markets to have the best chance at success!
-
And it's got us the best record in the MLB! Stick to your guns, Mark! Make MLB fair again!
-
I can certainly have an opinion when a multi-millionaire ignores lots of other things that I believe are more important than grossly enriching himself beyond measure for the average person in society.
-
So, again ... the real problem here is the MLB and player's union! When will someone, anyone -- do something about it? It's a rigged league, and no one is willing to make a "sacrifice" to make it right? Sad!
-
He would still be employed by the Brewers and would be making a very, very, very, very, very healthy income! Please!
-
Apples and oranges ... 🫡 You are operating out of necessity. Willy is not.
-
21 million dollars for 6-7 months work? I think they might want me! Good grief!
-
That's a shame in Willy's case ... it really is -- he's already a multimillionaire ... think beyond the wallet for a moment and think about what's really important in the big picture.
-
That's why I said, "make a stand."
-
Twist my arm a little harder! 😀
-
Big difference here is that you are living from paycheck to paycheck most likely ... Willy is a multi-millionaire regardless of what team he is playing for and is set for life. From that position of financial comfort, how about making a stand against the rigged league and staying with your friends/family?
-
How about a cheer for the good ole' times and a boo for leaving us!
-
Sure, it's great for him, BUT not great for the fans and the sport league!
-
For now, unfortunately! But, somebody (just one player--I was hoping Willy would be that guy) along with owners and fans has to say to the MLB and player's union, "No more" to this unfair system of revenue/economics in the MLB! As it is now, the Brewers and other small market teams have to defy everything to be competitive in the MLB! It is so unfair compared to the NFL! If little ole' Green Bay had to operate in the NFL with the MLB's rules currently, the Packers would be fortunate to win more than 4 games per season. The big market teams would swallow up that little market so easily.
-
Are you unable to see the advantage of the bigger markets here or what?!?!?! You want Mark Attanasio to lose money every year to have the payroll of the big market teams?
-
What about the disadvantaged owner, Mark Attanasio, in a rigged league that allows extraordinary fluctuations in revenue streams to teams based solely on market size? The real problem is the MLB payroll structure -- thank you, MLB and the players union! Willy is in the players union ... we need players and fans and owners to say no more to this inequitable/rigged league! Look at the NFL -- they are NOT rigged!
-
You are shooting yourself in the foot. Adames left for extra money, though he was already set for life. He had no loyalty to the Brewers, to Milwaukee, to Brewers fans, period. Don't let his smile fool you.
-
He already was making a wildly great living with the Brewers!
