Are we sure? The Brewers owners would stand to make alot of $$$ on a Beer District
They could and yet they've been against it so we'll see. I seriously wish Mark would cash out.
If he hypothetically did, what do you think would be the odds we'd get a better owner? From my standpoint he's about average in payroll spending and maybe even slightly above average when you factor markets in, but where I think he excels is hiring people and that can't be understated. I think hiring the right people is massively important and he's done really well there. I'm hesitant to have him sell to some random other owner who may or may not spend more but likely wouldn't be as good in the hiring department.
Definitely with you on the last part. Any time on another social media, in person, forum, whatever - if I support Attanasio in the context of baseball realities, you get called a bootlicker or whatever.
Yeah, in some weird fan fiction, it would rule if Attanasio or someone bought the team that is basically dead last in market and spends like a top 10 franchise. But anyone is realistic knows that that isn't going to happen, and if it did, what would be the reason for all of the other small markets not spending up as well?
So yeah - the organization, given constraints, has done pretty damn well. I don't adore billionaire Mark Attanasio, but realistically, I'm not sure it can get any better.
