1. Pat Rapper's Delight (as quoted on MLB Network) Posted: January 26, 2022 at 10:00 AM (#6062576)Oh I think MLB was 100% aware of "how minor-league baseball operated" from the perspective of how much they were subsidizing it.
Mission accomplished. They made it someone else's problem.
I used to check the paper's sports sheet for scores and standings of the Thunder Bay Whiskey Jacks frequently even though I lived nowhere close.
It's unfair to expect minor league owners to fund an independent baseball system for some amorphous greater good or nostalgia if there's no economic model besides breaking even.
If the argument for minor league baseball's continued purpose predicates on some community service, then their ownership and operation should be allowed to change to a non-profit model with the benefits and protections that it provides.
In more than a few respects, MiLB is similar to mover theaters and gas stations. In movies, the greatest part of ticket sales goes back to the studio/distributor, the cinema operator's profit is based heavily on snacks & drinks. Gas stations are similar.
