Ok now can we get some reality in the post please.
The Mets or dodgers tv contracts haven't changed in years. Give you a guess what has changed.
The big markets tv deals aren't the ones that are gonna price the Tigers of the market. Thier profit this year was second best. It's chris didn't spend. Not saying he had to go crazy but pumping skubal by even 30 million doesn't erase those profits and that doesn't include the bump in tickets and merchandise from seemingly fielding a better team with him on it.
We spent only 38 percent payroll to revenue so there is plenty of room for growth. We probably can't do 4 700 million guys. But one or two.skubals isn't a problem for teams of detroit's market size.
