We are fans of the Cleveland Indians. We all know there are parameters to the club budget that are largely out of our control. However, there is one that is IN our control: attending games. Attending games adds money to the team. They can add that to the payroll. Simple.
We are looking at trading Cy Young award winners for questionable return. Frankly, that scares me as this is the same front office who traded a viable shortstop and a slew of minor league prospects for a sub .200 outfielder with the upside of being a platoon player, a sub .200 defensively challenged utility infielder and a couple of AAAA pitchers, one of whom had a ML ERA north of 9.00 this year.
You don't want to give this front office too much room to wheel and deal.
Yet here we are.
Because we don't attend games, buy merchandise, etc. our team is looking to cut payroll.
This is squarely on our shoulders, people, as we are not buying tickets and spending our money to support our team.
The Cavs suck.
The Browns suck.
Now is the Indians' time. They should be spending money internationally. They should be spending money domestically. And they should NOT have to made trades of team friendly contracts because we didn't buy tickets.
It's time, people. Christmas is coming. Buy some freakin' season tickets and show our team that they don't have to cut payroll. There is no other winning team in town right now. Get behind the one winning team you have.
