Gom, this is not about economics.
It's about you trying to convince everyone that something is wrong and hurts baseball when it really doesn't.
It only hurts baseball in your simple mind because you have your yankee bias, and a double-standard about their wild spending and how THAT is bad for baseball, so you come out trying to explain how the long-term signing of a homegrown player is "bad for baseball" just after the yankee spend 400+ million on 3 FAs.
You are insincere, and you're so fake even GW jr. could see through you.
So save your ********, no one here is having it.
