They say revenue but I hear Soto money
thank you rays, we will take brandon lowe as well.
Which can be directly forwarded to Soto…..right?
That’s 3 months of SotoDollars
Just give us Yandy Diaz instead
Add it to the Soto fund
Just have them Venmo #22
Great idea! Let’s get some deep knowledge of how a successful small market team operates on the daily.
We getting Soto LFG
Last year they Rays averaged 16,515+ fans per game. The capacity of Steinbrenner Field is 11,026. So yes there is a big lose in terms of fan revenue coming in. But $15M to rent the stadium is prob a bargain and prob won’t represent much of a lose [some of that lose is prob covered by insurance anyway].
That’s hilarious. Imagine a MLB team needing to play 70+ games somewhere and the beneficiary only is getting like 200k a game for it. Crazy
Renaming it Soto field
That’s actually…pretty important. It’s not Soto money, we have that. It’s everyone else money.
Hal had indicated that he wanted to cut payroll, and cutting by about 15M to the Cohen tax was the most logical move. This is free money in their pocket so that they don’t have to cut at all.
That gives them about 75M to spend if they match their 2024 payroll, plus more when they start non-tendering guys like Mayza. Suddenly adding Soto, a 1B, 2B, and RP all seems possible….
More money for Soto
I wonder what percentage of the money the league pays them to lose through revenue sharing $15mil is?
Wow. Their fans must be gnawing off their own fingers right now!
But this isn’t necessarily *net* revenue, right? It’s going to cost the Yankees money to facilitate these games throughout the year, as well
Is that gross or net revenue? I wonder what it costs to host a game. Staff, concession supplies, grounds keeping, utilities… $15 mil. for 81 games is <$200k per game. If the at is gross revenue, I think the Yankees game them a pretty good deal.
So higher than their payroll this year
Outdoors? In that Florida summer heat and humidity? Good luck with that.
Which Hal will promptly stuff in his coffers
What about concessions money I wonder? Do the Yankees share the food and beverage money with the Rays?
Great we know they need every penny since they’re so poor.
Just put Brandon Lowe in the bag bro
Mr. Soto I believe we have ourselves deal
Does this mean that Steinbrenner Field is going to have a stingray tank?
