And let's be real, the reason the franchise valuation went up so high is because they became winners not because of a new stadium and entertainment district. Tons of people can operate a hedge fund. Flipping that for huge profit is a shit ton different than finally becoming majority owner of the team you grew up rooting for and then selling that team for a profit. To act like he's not making 10's of millions a year running the team is laughable. |

My point being is 2023-24 is still escalated when compared to Tommy John surgeries in the 1990s and 2000s, and this has been a problem going on for a while that has nothing to do with the pitch clock. Experts like Dr. Andrews believe the main culprit is the high end velocity. It's not even an MLB issue either. Tommy John surgeries are happening at the youth baseball level, too. |

If you want to debate if Sherman is trying to do the same that is a different topic. It appears Sherman is trying to follow the same blueprint as the Buck's ownership group. Whether he has ulterior motives to flip the team or not, I do not know. If I had to guess, I don't think he will. Given this is the second team he has had an ownership stake in, it appears he really desires to own a baseball team and the fact it's his local team can only help. Whether he flips the team or not, maximizing the value of the franchise is not a bad thing. You can take the Bucks as an example. The ownership group kept the team in Milwaukee, they have a nice new arena and popular entertainment district and the organization overall is in better shape than when they originally bought the team. Sure it is a bit at the expense of the taxpayers, but that is the price to be paid if you don't wat to be Omaha or Des Moines. |

NWA Naturals are coming to town for a series this week in San Antonio. I don't follow the minors closely. Looking at the roster, Gavin Cross is the only name I recognize.
I know Duncan and a few others are much more knowledgeable. Any exciting prospects to keep an eye on if I'm able to attend a game? |

Pitching side, local boy Noah Cameron would be fun to catch live. Beck Way is intriguing. |
