Maybe to fans…to the owners, I mean…kinda debatable. I don’t think being consistently competitive has everything to do with winning a World Series. Being a fringe WC team is probably more valuable to the Brewers even if it means no WS appearance ever.
World Series are great, but high payrolls, expensive contracts usually go with that..,and World Series hangover excitement/interest dies fast…especially if you tank into a crap team.
