No amount of direction heading can withstand a lengthy lockout.

The answer is a bad direction. The league is becoming more and more imbalanced financially, gambling is rampant and while not quite at NFL/NBA levels yet it’s still a problem. I ring hate Manfred as much as most online but he’s made some pretty significant missteps.

67 percent of fans saying they’re enthusiastic or hopeful for MLB right now is a truth nuke for the doomers.

Kind of ridiculous how much gambling gets shoved down our throats on every broadcast and they haven’t even broken 10% market share. I expect the NFL’s is much higher, but that’s a smaller number than I expected.

Wrong direction so long as MLB (and every other sports league) promotes/advertises online gambling like its Gatorade. Terrible.

I would have thought the gambling numbers would be a lot higher given how everywhere it seems to be
