How so? If the team can afford to pay those contracts then look at the revenue they are generating even after the fact. The players are the product.

im not sure how i feel about the Ms possibly signing cano
on the one hand i have a lot of respect for cano and would watch him play, itd get me all on board again
on the other hand ive been frustrated at the Ms for fucking ever and am damn near ready to boycott this team, and signing cano doesn't necessarily mean theyre serious about competing, could just be a ploy to get fans interested again
i dunno lol

i was just reading an article that jack Z and howard lincoln offered cano 9 yrs 225mil, but jay z demanded 252 million, "at which point Howard Lincoln exploded", and the talks immediately ended, lol
the article was 'talks with cano end on sour note', i was trying to post it here but the huffington post kept freezing my ps3 lol
fucking jay z... if he did that then i think cano wasnt serious about coming to the mariners and they were probably just trying to drive his trade value up. oh well, good luck cano. scott boras used to be the ultimate douche agent now i guess jayz is trying to fill those shoes

cano and the mariners have agreed to a 10 year $240 million deal. the mariners stadium will sell out for a handful of games this year. other then those sellouts the mariners will continue to average 22000 fans a home game. the stadium seats 47900 when its full. how can a team make money when it only fills up 45% of home stadium seats

because safeco is a world class stadium. sure theres hotdogs pizza etc, but theres also steak, shrimp, expensive scotch and martinis, all that. and seattles average income is like $100,000. lots of ppl who could care less about baseball go there just to drink and eat and hangout. and a lot of out of towners plan their vacations around when their home teams play here and visit safeco

I'm not excited at all. One player and Willie Bloomquist won't put us over the top of The A's, Rangers, or Angels. And 10 years?!?! I thought mlb teams learned that's not a good idea.

Cano is an awesome player but has nobody learned anything from Yankees and Angels? Teams need to stop offering 10 year contracts. Cano won't bust like Pujols and Hamilton immediately but he will eventually. Because of his desire for a huge payday, Cano will rot in Seattle.

So that's how they found ichiro!
Also I don't understand the people saying players deserve less, it isn't like if they get paid less you'll see cheaper ticket prices and merchandise. It'll just be larger profit margins for the team's ridiculously rich owners.
And no team is truly fucked until Jeff Loria takes over.

First baseman Mike Napoli made it clear after the World Series that he wanted to stay with the Red Sox. He liked his first season in Boston so much that he stuck around for a few weeks after the World Series.
Team officials also wanted Napoli back and on Friday night a two-year, $32 million deal was reached.
“The beard is coming back to Boston!!! Couldn’t be happier!!” Napoli posted on Twitter at 9:09 p.m. WEEI reported first that a deal was in place.
The Red Sox had competition from the Texas Rangers and several other teams on Friday, another busy day for baseball. That served to bring the agreement into place.
The Rangers, major-league sources said, had a more lucrative deal on the table but Napoli elected to stay with the Red Sox. He said several times during and after the season how much he enjoyed playing in Boston and his teammates.
“It’s a great fit for me,” Napoli said following the Series. “This is where I want to stay and I want to work something out. I love playing here, everything about it.”
Napoli was an important piece of the offseason plan for the Red Sox. He hit .259 with an .842 OPS last season, contributing 23 home runs and 92 RBIs to an offense that was the best in the game. The righthanded hitter is important to the middle of the order to balance lefthanded slugger David Ortiz.
See the Globe tomorrow for more on the deal.
