When I said replace them, I wasn't talking replacement players. I never said I despised the players either. I just think they have one sweet deal with what they already have.
For replacements why not let the majors fend for themselves? Call up every city (or state) like who is getting screwed by MLB usually by not even having a team, and have city teams? Any major city could have one. Minneapolis St Paul Duluth Rochester Plus every bigger city in all the other states. many more games, sell cheaper tickets like $5 Build smaller fields, each city can own their own team and field. Keep the profits too. Salary caps at say $100000 (including owners) You would have many more games, cheaper tickets, become a more friendly affair. Plus the community would be more willing to invest in it as they would have a stake in the profits. That's what I mean by replace them. Of course that's a lot like minor league and why the leaders of the city and state leaves them out of the equation and bend over backwards for millionaire owners crying for money I will never know. That's more real for us all having baseball. But MLB isn't interested in that. MLB is about money not baseball. Baseball just happens to be how they make that money. Make no mistake on that. That's why they only have a few teams eligible for the entire "World Series". Fewer teams means more profit for the cats at the top. I don't despise them for it-but I don't think they deserve any special favours for it either. That's why I would much rather see mayors like RT try for that instead of a new stadium for the Twins. While I don't support spending $10 million for the Twins, I would support the expense for a team to play against the Saints.
