Why are people upset at owners who are pushing the envelop and not the cheap owners

This.
Cheap owners dont have a 500-600+ million revenue base to blow their brains out
League is a fucken joke with payrolls approaching 300 mil and others less than 100

The joke is the payrolls around the 100m mark. The Jays did about 100M USD this year in gate revenue alone.

Revs averaged $380MM last year. Some markets may be limited potential but winning and top players also increase you're revenue.

The issue baseball has is the season is too long, as are games. Now you have payrolls where 1 player is making more than an entire roster (Or close). Baseball has big issues. Thankfully the extra WC playoffs have helped small market teams a bit.

MLB is fucked up
Agreed too long a season , go about 140 games and let in 16 teams in the playoffs
Will never happen with revenue issues but too many teams are doomed from day 1

Matt Boyd 2/29 to Cubs
Pitching, even mediocre pitching is still expensive.
FIgure the baseline for a Fried is 6/180, and thats for a contender, Burnes 7/210.
I have to assume that is past the Jays walk away number, and the players would prefer better destinations anyways. I also assume one of Severino/Flaherty/Pivetta/Manaea will gladly take the 4 x 25 that is in their comfort zone for a number 3 SP

former Blue Jay Matt Boyd...
didn't we originally trade him in the Price package? funny how he was a 'throw-in' and ended up being I believe the best pitcher Detroit ended up receiving

He's had himself a career and got himself quasi paid. Good for him

and as we all know, once one team makes a higher offer, under no circumstances can another one outbid them
