Watched the new Netflix documentary last night about the collapse of the Expos. Great franchise and amazing fan base. Collapsed in large part because there wasn't sufficient money available from the owners to be competitive. The idea that people are complaining about Dodgers management is absurd. Don't have the money to field a competitive team? Sell the team to someone who does. Professional sports franchises in the US right now are among the most valuable assets in the world. If you can't play in that end of the pool . . . go home. No one has to buy a baseball team. The anger should be directed at 9-8 owners who don't even hide the fact that they aren't trying.
